The Pursuit of Happiness Feel-good movie based on the true story of a selfless medical supply salesman (an ever-appealing Will Smith) who, after his wife (Thandie Newton) walks out, raises his 5-year-old son (Jaden Christopher Syre Smith) on his own while pursuing a new career path as a stockbroker in an unpaid internship while enduring financial struggles, homelessness and other difficulties. The movie is a bit long and repetitive. However, the inspirational message in the movie is amazing, with Smith's doing all he can to nurture his son under difficult circumstances and projecting admirable decency throughout. I give the movie 2 thumbs up. It is one I feel we should all see at some point, however it is not one of my favorites.
