Two Thumbs Up

Rating: 9/10 (27 January 2007)

The Pursuit of Happiness was a truly touching film. For the average person, even, this should show that even you have the "most." The Pursuit of Happiness helps show viewers that even when you're at your lowest, there's someone who cares, and someone who's willing to help you get back on your feet.
In The Pursuit of Happiness, Chris (Will Smith) is a salesman who has put his entire life-savings into a contract to sell as many bone density scanners as possible. His wife soon gets fed up, and leaves her family, to flee to New York to pursue a career as a waitress. Chris' son, Christopher, is the motivational part of the entire film. Christoper helps show his father that love and happiness are all it takes to live.
Soon after hitting rock bottom, things begin to look up, as Chris sales his final bone density scanner, and is opted out of the contract. He interviews for a job at a brokerage firm, and must go through several harsh weeks of internship training, before he'll actually get the job. Through determination, Chris gets the job.
Will Smith was an excellent choice to play this role. His down to earth character was perfect for the role.
I give this movie no less than two thumbs up, and encourage every adult to view it.
COMMENTS: I DO NOT recommend parents let their children (under 13) view this. There is some minor "language" used. I must say it was quite inappropriate to have a child referencing to the "F-word," in which Christopher full fledge says the "F-word." Other than that, the movie was great.
