After Ali, comes the Pursuit ...

Rating: 6/10 (15 April 2007)

... of Happiness. And yes the title is deliberately misspelled (you will get it, after you watch the movie). Will Smith is even more believable than he was in Ali (at least to me), where I always saw Will Smith and never Ali. But here, he really carries that weight. throughout.
A big part of him convincing me, was his son (in the movie). But I also was distracted by the son. I just could tell, that it was Will Smith's real life son. And that shouldn't be a bad thing, but it got me out of the movie a few times. Not in one of their best scene though (which plays in subway tunnel).
Will Smith himself, said in an EMPIRE (magazine) interview, that he was really fond of the idea of the movie. He said that you don't have the right to be happy, but the right to pursue it (which is written exactly in that matter in the Declaration of Independence by T. Jefferson). If you think this statement is "bollocks", than this movie just might not be for you!
