"The Pursuit of Happyness" is probably one of the best films Will Smith has ever stared in, not say that it is one of the best movies of the year. It was more of a time-waster at the one hour mark, then the last fifty minutes made me want to fall asleep. Thankfully, my friend sitting next to me, nudged me a little. Boring, predictable, pointless, are just some of the words that can describe this unpleasant film. (*/*****)

WOW WHAT AN ABSOLUTE GEM OF A MOVIE.IF ANYONE THAT NEEDED INSPIRATION IN LIFE DIDN`T GET ANY FROM WATCHING THIS BEAUTIFUL FILM THEN THEY NEED TO SEE IT AGAIN. AS FOR WILL SMITH I THINK THAT HE IS AND CONTINUES TO BE ONE OF THE BEST ACTORS IN HOLLYWOOD AS WE ALL KNOW HIM FOR BEING A FUNNY GUY BUT DAMN CAN HE ACT SUPERB IN A SERIOUS ROLE.WILL MY MAN I HOPE THAT AFTER DOING THIS ROLE AS CHRIS GARDNER YOU GOT TO SEE WHAT IT`S LIKE TO BE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF LIFE. I KNOW THAT YOU ARE A MULTIMILLIONAIRE IN REAL LIFE BUT ONE OF THOSE CELEBRITIES THAT PROBABLY VALUES THAT YOU WERE ONCE BORN IN EAST PHILLY AND WERE RAISED IN A POOR FAMILY.GOD BLESS YO

I think it was an awesome movie and it was a really good father & son movie. I went to Montreal in 1997 & one night my Aunt (Jody), Mom, my Uncle Jim and I went to see Men In Black with Will Smith.

Sooo good!!! Go to see it! Will`s performance is very good! His son works better than his father! I believe this kid has a great future as an actor. The movie`s music will touch your senses. Be prepared for a tissue just in case. The story is about problems, hope and courage. It deserves the ending, I left the theatre with happyness. My score: 90 of 100. Hollywood directors!! Please, more movies like this one.

Awesome Movie ! I was feeling down and out about my own life right now and I walked out of that movie theatre with a new sense of hope, things weren`t as bad as I thought they were -it could be a lot worse! Thank you Will Smith for bringing this to the screen !

In a time of confusion with evil all around Pursuit of Happyness provides a true story of hope and a shiny example of possibility if we truly want it. The fact that this is a true account strikes to the very core of the tiny spark of hope within us that says it is possible to design our own fate.
