A heartwarming tale

Rating: 9/10 (7 November 2012)

I came across this movie, when I was searching for some interesting titles to watch. I'm not really a drama fan and I wasn't to excited about watching this one. To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised. The Pursuit of Happiness is a movie about a hard- working father and his son, struggling to make it in life, as Chris can't pay his bills and tickets anymore. They eventually lose everything and end up on the street. Without revealing any more spoilers, I strongly suggest you watch this inspiring story and you will see why I continue to praise it. The acting is superb, Will Smith at his best. His on- screen son was actually played by Jaden. Not being the sentimental type, I thought I wasn't going to shed a tear during the whole movie. Alas, I was terribly wrong. I had to turn of the lights, because it struck me right in the heart and I kept on wining like a baby. The Pursuit of Happiness? Well said. To be truly happy, you need to give your maximum, never give up and believe in yourself. Again, this is a great biographical drama with an amazing script and the whole plot itself is utterly heartwarming. The line where Christopher says: " You're a good dad." made me smile.
Don't skip this one ;)
