Pursuit of Happyness

I had never seen the movie, The Pursuit of Happyness (with Will Smith) until last week when I had to watch it for a class. Wow--what an amazing movie! Although it was heartbreaking at some moments, overall I felt it was a very touching portrayal of a real life situation. Also, the story happens to be true! The life of Christopher Gardner is a "rags-to-riches" type of story. At the beginnning of the movie, he has NO money, NO job, and NO resources to get through the family stress he is experiencing. There are a number of things that happen in the movie that just really make you appreciate life in general. I am so glad that I watched this movie. It was great!

  1. Okay I went and saw this movie with my sister and her hub and as we were leaving she was like "wow that movie was depressing" and I was like "Did we just watch the same movie!!!" I thought it was amazing! I love true stories that have you feelings like you can accomplish anything/ make the world a better place
