Summary: An inspirational tale of staying in the game
Comment: Not until the last three minutes of the movie were the story filled with every reason for the main character to just lose it, take it out on society, or simply give up on life; but his love for his son gave him the almost-superhuman-like discipline and next-to-impossible-enduring patience, if at all possible, to have a slim chance to turn things around. Life is not always a happy ending, but if you don't even give yourself that chance, life certainly won't either. But when it is a happy ending, the meaningless world suddenly becomes meaningful. This is what "Pursuit of Happyness" is about.

Summary: THE PURSUIT OF RIPPING PEOPLE OFF
Comment: I'm a fan of Will Smith in general, but I can't say much for this movie. I know from first hand experience that Stockbrokers/Financial Advisors make a living ripping other people off. So, while I commend the real life character for coming up in the world, I assure you it was at the expense of many others. Namely, his clients. I can't expect people to understand what I'm saying. You have to have worked in the industry (as I have) to truly understand. But ALL of them, from the top producers to the bottom producers, are ripping people off. They know it and they don't care. The companies know it and they don't care. All they care about is the Pursuit of Money. Pure and simple. I cannot support a movie that shows the "hero" as a Stockbroker, Financial Advisor or Consultant. They might as well make a rags to riches movie about a father who succeeds as a shady used car salesman.

Summary: Will Smith DELIVERS
Comment: 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.
