Review of Pursuit of Happyness (2005) by Buggy B — 09 Feb 2014
Wow this movie was exhausting. Watching Will Smith as Chris Gardner continually running to keep up, catch up, make ends meet, just make it through one more day did me in. Awesome (Oscar nominated) performance from Will Smith -and his son Jaden too.
An inspirational fact-based story that gives you hope concerning a struggling salesman who becomes an unpaid intern with a prestigious brokerage firm as he and his young son become homeless. Particular detail paid to small details of the time (1981) including movie posters, adds etc.
The bone density scanner almost becomes a character unto itself here, I actually got tired of it and was probably as glad as 'Chris' when he finally sold the last one. Neat cameo from the real Gardner at the end.
