The Pursuit of Happiness; what is it that finally makes us happy, how do we get there and can we be happy with no money?

Rating: 7/10 (13 January 2007)

Will Smith was good, mixing some humor with serious and emotional when required. It was a good idea to have his son Jaden play his son in the film, they had a great bond and Jaden played his part well. Thandie Newton was good support, as would be expected.
Technically the film was good. Acting fine, filming, soundtrack - all good. It was an entertaining film with an interesting enough story that was able to maintain the interest throughout. The only issue have is the title of the film when considered in the context of the plot. The suggestion is that landing a great job and getting heaps of money is the answer to "the pursuit of happiness". If you believe that to be the case then you'll probably love the film, if not you may be left a little unsatisfied.
