The Pursuit Of Happyness

[Guest KIM_SAYS:]

Anyone see this yet?

For some reason..I was a bit disappointed...

[Guest 4tang]

its based on a true story...and i heard from sources that it's pretty true to the real story.

i saw them film this ... for awhile they would film every saturday morning and close off the whole financial district...and i can only get home through the financial district...

i deff want to watch this! it got such good reviews, at least the ones i've read.

[Guest °..a²]

i watched it today, i found it soooo soo sad that it was actually a real story. i almost cried during certain scenes. im really glad he achieved something good in the end, cuz he really deserves it.

I've seen Will's and his son's guesting in Oprah, and they talked about the movie...it looked impressive. They also had the real Gardner as a guest and his story's really compelling...can't help but to be wowed. I'll have to watch this in the matinee showing coz I think I'll be shedding a tear or two and I can't wear sunglasses at night

[Guest cin]

I saw the movie today. I thought it was touching and cute. His son is so adorable. Will was so good in this movie. I got all teary in the bathroom scene. Overall I like it very much.

I really want to see this movie! it looks really good and will smith's son is so cuteeee

[Guest ThinkBig]

I wanted to be blown away with earth shattering inspiration - and because of that, I suppose I expected too much out of this movie. Although there were moments of devastating inspiration and although the circumstances that arose in almost obliterating the American dream of happiness time and time again were heartfelt, I just wasn't completely satisfied with the movie. It left me somewhat disappointed. The movie pursued to be something wonderful and although the potential was there, it never actually succeeds.

I must say that Will Smith's son was adorable. He really made the movie.

[Guest MaiMai]

the trailer is definitely much better than the movie imo

[Guest avia]

I saw the movie and liked it ...It had some great moments in it and some bland one's as well...but overall don't expect to much from this movie... and just enjoy it for what it is really about a fathers love for his son...Keep in mind it's only a movie!

[Guest Happy_Day]

This is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Will Smith is such an amazing actor. I cannot believe he pulled it off, I mean Will Smith as a homeless guy? But it worked. And that scene in the office at the end of the movie made me cry so much. I was crying with him.

It's such an amazing, inspirational movie.

One teeny thing that made me cringe in this movie was when Will Smith and his son were standing in line to get shelter for the night, a flashy open car went by with these rich white teenagers shrieking and laughing. It was so stereotypical and wasn't really necessary, I don't know if anyone else noticed it.

Other than that, AMAZING MOVIE.

I gotta read the book now.

[Guest 4tang]

^ in that era that wasn't a stereotype it was the truth x:

[Guest Misao]

it was an alright movie. it felt pretty looong. haha i love the son's lil joke. :] oh and the ending was :')

[Guest `faded]

It looks really good..I wanna watch it!

That part really happen in real life to the person that the movie is based on...So, it was not stereotypical it was just a horrible truth that happen and need to be put in the movie...

[Guest GDlovesBEE]

i'mma go see this ASAP too. it looks good.

[dahanizzle]

This was a great movie, albeit it was probably the most stressful and depressing 1.5hours(?) of my life. Omg. Everytime something good happened some bad sh!t would happen and he would be back to square one.

His son is cool hahaha. His jokes at the end were cute

[Guest LEFTOVER]

i just watched it this weekend.

it was ...alright.

[Guest twinkle_l0ve]

i love will smith and i cant wait for this movie to come out xD

[theedqueen]

oh man I saw this movie last night and it was brilliant! It was so hard to watch b/c I felt like having a mental breakdown for Will Smith's chracter every time something happened to him and his son. And OMG that HIPPIE! Sheesh I really, really, really wanted to punch her in the face! :fury: Oh, and I knew the guy at the end of the movie had to be the real guy. I wonder if he ever got back together with his wife later on once he got some good money. According to wiki it says he has two kids now. Maybe it says it in the book? Either way, he must be the most awesome dad in the world. Definitely go see this movie people.

And I was so in love with the fact that the little boy is Will Smith's real son. I remember when he was promoting that Muhammed Ali movie(I think?) on Oprah and he was like 2 years old and just walked on stage. So cute! Hope to see more father son acts, I'd die of cavities.
