Very powerful

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2006)

This was one of the best movies I have seen.....everything from the storyline to the acting to the setting was excellent. There were a number of scenes in this movie in which nothing was said verbally (scenes on the streets of the city) but which spoke volumes about the world we live in. Happiness was different than your typical rags to riches movie, especially the ones that involve African-Americans. No one was living in the hood, involved in illegal activities, and trying to make it as an athlete or entertainer. I think a lot can be learned about what it takes to make it in this world from this movie (determination, opportunity, charisma, position, luck). Many people (those who have not always been upper middle class or rich) will be able to relate to this movie.
