rating: 5 QuoteWill Smith DELIVERSQuote
WOW is all I can say about this movie. I've had this dang movie sitting in the DVD rack for some time now and finally got around to watching it with my girl. I'm so ridiculously surprised at how good the movie was (yes she picked it out the rack).

I'll have to say that Will Smith has definitely become by far one of the best actors out there. Coming from his beginnings on Fresh Prince were he didn't have a clue as to what he was doing to were he is at now is just ridiculous. I don't think there has ever been an actor that can stand up to his level. He's bar far the most versatile actor to date in my honest opinion.

In this movie he shows himself as an outstanding figure to his son who is determined to take on the world to make a better life for his family.

This movie is pretty much a definition of Will himself in how he went from nothing and built everything he's become today. OUTSTANDING movie from start to finish. July 19, 2008

We sat on the edge of the couch until the last scene, and then we cried because we were so happy. THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS is one of those movies you must see in your lifetime. It does everything a great movie is supposed to do. It takes the viewers out of themselves and puts them into the movie.

The acting was perfect. It never felt as though the people were playing roles. It seemed we were looking into their lives. Jaden Smith was incredibly good in his part.

If the story had been fiction, I would have complained that it was too farfetched to happen; but since it really did happen, I simply have to admire the man who struggled with superhuman strength to be all the man he could be day after day.

It made me think of the times when my life was more than I thought I could bear. (I've been there! Solomon's Porch: The Story of Ben and Rose) And it made me think of how much better most of us have it every day than Will Smith's character Chris Gardner had it.

My favorite scene in the movie was the church scene, in which the struggling man and his son depicted a reliance on God when they were near the end of their rope.

I hope you enjoy this movie soon. June 20, 2008
