Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
carolynvargas The Pursuit of Happyness is an alright movie which could have been a great movie if they had only managed to tone down the saccharine feel of the proceeding. The intentions aren't wrong, and Will Smith should be commended for his portrayal but at over two hours it is way too long and ineptly directed to be recommended. If you are a hardcore Will Smith fan you should have a look and maybe it will even appeal to you (the movie has sharply divided critics and audiences) but for what its worth The Pursuit of Happiness is a middling effort.
diaeeddinechegra The pursuit of happyness, is a movie came out in 2006 which is based on a true story of a salesman in San Fransisco, who tries to sell his portable bone density scanners to doctors. Unfortantely, he doesn't make regular revenues which affects his financial situation. He doesn't give up, he tries his best to sell his scanners in order to afford a standard living for his son after his wife leaves them. I really liked everything about the movie, the acting from the Smiths was just outstanding and coherent. I highly recommend watching this movie because he taught me a lot about life(sales), it showed me that our world is cruel but you should knock all doors to make your dream a reality instead of making excuses and putting the responsibility on circumstances.
saramgia A man goes from being unable to support himself and his family to exploiting others to become a multimillionaire. If you read the Declaration of Independence from which "the pursuit of happiness" is quoted, it ends with "to this we pledge our lives, our FORTUNES, and our SACRED HONOR." The Founders who wrote that the pursuit of happiness is an unalienable right, gave their fortunes to win it. The end, that the pursuit of happiness is the pursuit of money, that the cure to unhappiness is unbridled greed, is really sad. These people need therapy. I also found the story inauthentic. A lot of support mechanisms are available to homeless people in NYC. Of course, he used those resources but they left out that part to manipulate the viewer.
