An irresistible success story

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2017)

'The Pursuit of Happiness' is no ordinary rags-to-riches film. This is a real, raw and emotionally engaging story that will leave you feeling inspired, reflective and appreciative of everything that you have. The Pursuit takes you on a roller coaster of emotion, rarely does a film take you to such lows and yet still manage to be uplifting.
The success of this film is largely down to Will Smith and the on- screen relationship with his son Jaden, which is heartfelt and touching. No actor could have done a better job at playing Chris Gardner than Will Smith - his performance in this film is near flawless. So good in fact that you soon forget that he's an actor and not the man himself.
'The Pursuit of Happiness' is easily one of my favourite biographical films and one that always has me hooked. An inspiring, uplifting and touching film that everybody should see at least once in their lifetime.
