the pursut of happyness is that best movie because it teaches people to not to give up and to always be there Will Smith has banked a lot of goodwill with moviegoers and he's going to need to cash some in with his starring role in the depressing drama,. Pursuit is a movie designed to have you reaching for your tissues, but unfortunately it's so overwrought, heavy-handed and into bashing the audience over the head with its message that the emotional impact is dramatically lessened as each minute of the running time slowly ticks by.

Based on true events, The Pursuit of Happyness (the incorrect spelling...

The Persuit of Happyness staring Will Smith is the most experienced movie ever taken. Well it is about Will Smith trying to sell bone scanners, bur eventually no one buys it so he gets broke and loses his wife. Later on he tried to get a job but still no one was accepting him. I really love this movie. It gets me really entertained. If you have kids they will learn all the disadvantages when people are broke. This movie is much better that wathing spiderman 3 or the new James Bond move. This movie was based on a true story and its very inspiring to children and adults.

This is an uplifting story of struggle and hope. It provides greats lessons for the young and the old. This story shows perseverance and integrity. A great show to watch with your family. This story teaches heartache, setbacks and the desire to always better yourself. I highly recommend this film for people down on their luck and for people who have the luck and need to remember where anybody can come from

This movie has become my favorite movie of all time.  It was inspring and very touching.  I laughed, cried and was on the edge of my seat the whole time.  Will Smith deserves an academy award for this one.  A truly amazing true story!
