Pursuit of Happyness

Will and Jaden Smith, real life father and son, portray the father and son in Pursuit of Happyness. This movie is based on the real life struggles of Chris Gardner after he takes over custody for his son Christopher when Chris decides on a career change. This movie felt a little long at points and I would have liked to know what happened to the mother/how she felt at the end but overall it was enjoyable. It is a little depressing but more than that, you should walk out of the movie feeling inspired and thankful for what you have or that you don't have to struggle like Chris did. This is a strong movie that depicts the power of determination. If you want something bad enough and NEVER give up no matter how tough things get, you will find success. Stong, determined and inspirational thumbs up.
