The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)


They say its inspired by a true story. If that is the case, i would definitely like to meet Chris Gardner(played by Will Smith). He's perseverance personified and convinces us as to how trifling our problems in life actually are, when compared to what he went through.

The story of a struggling family, a struggling father desperately trying to make ends meet for his family, yet optimistic of a betterment. Sounds cliched? Watch the movie, you'll be surprised at how far things go. You'll be amazed at the performance of Will Smith. Some of the scenes in the movie are priceless. I stand vindicated in my claim that Will Smith is one helluva actor.

Inspirational movie!

Note: its spelt 'happyness'!!
