The Pursuit Of Happyness

Life is a struggle for single father Chris Gardner (Will Smith, Men In Black). Evicted from their apartment, he and his young son (Jaden Christopher Syre Smith, The Karate Kid) find themselves alone with no place to go. Even though Chris eventually lands a job as an intern at a prestigious brokerage firm, the position pays no money. The pair must live in shelters and endure many hardships, but Chris refuses to give in to despair as he struggles to create a better life for himself and his son.

Critic Reviews:

• " The Pursuit of Happyness reveals the soul-wasting nature of poverty and the lack of prospects for those condemned to economic oblivion. " – Joanne Laurier

• " Smith turns in a career-capping performance, and director Gabriele Muccino ingeniously turns the material inward, cautioning us all to be grateful for what we have, for we're closer to the edge than we think. " – Tom Meek

• " Will Smith is getting all the awards buzz, but it's his real-life son, Jaden, who transcends all expectations in Happyness. " – Brian Marder
