Watch The Pursuit of Happyness For Free

That was an excellent one.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

The first time I watched this movie I wasn't quite sure what to expect. What I got was not only an amazing movie with great acting, but an inspiring message of how to be resilient in life in order to get what you want. This is by far Will Smith's best performance as an actor, and I'm surprised he hasn't been awarded an Oscar for this movie. I never cry for movies but this popped my cherry, the end is unbelievably satisfying. By far my favourite movie.

This was an amazingly done movie. I loved how nurturing Chris was with his son and all of the crazy circumstances that he went through to keep his safe. I love that he wanted to be a good father to his son because Chris never knew his dad as he grew up. Even though this was not a blatantly "Christian movie", it definitely had Christian elements. Throughout the movie, I was able to find the elements of faith, mercy, and hospitality, along with many more. I would highly recommend watching "The Pursuit of Happyness".

A man goes from being unable to support himself and his family to exploiting others to become a multimillionaire. If you read the Declaration of Independence from which "the pursuit of happiness" is quoted, it ends with "to this we pledge our lives, our FORTUNES, and our SACRED HONOR." The Founders who wrote that the pursuit of happiness is an unalienable right, gave their fortunes to win it. The end, that the pursuit of happiness is the pursuit of money, that the cure to unhappiness is unbridled greed, is really sad. These people need therapy. I also found the story inauthentic. A lot of support mechanisms are available to homeless people in NYC. Of course, he used those resources but they left out that part to manipulate the viewer.

What do some people want? Here we have a story based on fact (Chris Gardner's year long battle living on the streets). With multiple escalating situations that left me simultaneously challenged, exhausted, and in wonder - yet still some critics label it mealy a 'feel good' movie! Obviously these folk have never had to drag their child and worldly belongings around the streets or sleep in public 'shist' houses - while dodging every conceivable trial that life could throw at them! What were they watching (or thinking) I ask? It's so easy for some writers with little or no imagination, to sit in a cozy Cinema or on their easy chair in the comfort of their own space and never know the cold hard difference. This movie offers class in all departments of cinema: Pathos, Drama, Humour, Social-comment, Family, Work-ethic, Commitment, in fact, just about all areas of human ethical endurance and determination. And, it's all served up with great cinematography, direction, editing and music - capped off with performances to knock you out! How Will Smith (and son) did not get the Academy that year either speaks volumes or the competition must have been awesome indeed! Worthy on many levels and should not to be missed.
