One of Will Smith's finest.

"Happiness is something that we can only pursue and maybe we can actually never have it. "
The movie is about a family struggling through poverty and how the father tries to change it. The whole movie is just filled with struggle to achieve happiness, hence the name. And the struggle sure has its TOUGH moments. Since the movie portrays this in a great way, those moments really does make you GO ALL FEELSY.
Will Smith was great in this. Movies like these tell you that he sure can do amazing acting, something other than his usual tough guy gangsta routine. There were scenes in this movie where you can't but admire the man's acting. And because of that, you REALLY do feel for the guy in the movie. His son, Jaden Smith, was pretty good in the film too.
The soundtrack was pretty pleasing. While the movie was mostly covered with sadness, the soundtrack was often playful.
This movie really does make you appreciate what you have and by the time it is finished, you will surely feel an immense warm happy feeling inside. I love it when movies are able to make you feel that. How in the hell did this duo went from THIS to that ABOMINATION After Earth is beyond me.
8/10
