    This movie absolutely moved me and my perception of poverty. Will Smith's performance is fantastic, elevated the movie so much. One of my favorite ever.

    I don't want to give the movie less than five stars. Feels wrong Anyway the movie is a true story drama I could feel the emotions from the screen Over all the movie is Great I think they could have showed more in the finale But so far so good!

    a movie that tells the true story of Chris Gardner, a man who goes through very tough times to build a better life for himself and his son.
  • Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
    An emotionally powerful and insighftul biographical drama film heightened by Will Smith's touching performance as Chris Gardner, The Pursuit of Happyness does occasionally drag, but this is a movie that works so well because it not only shows Gardner's "pursuit of happyness" in terms of work, but also his relationship with his son and how they experience personal growth with one another.

    I was expecting more. Everyone says it’s such a good movie but to me, it’s not that good compared to the other movies i’ve watched. Towards the end it starts getting better. But it is slow at the beginning.

    Great story line, the zeal for greatness. It starts with a step and hardwork with consistency

    Very powerful movie. Strong acting, plot, cohesion, and character development. Very immersive movie. Hollywood should make more movies with this realistic theme of struggling single parents, or even couples. Adding a child always magnifies the emotions of the viewers. This is a very unsaturated area in cinema. Keep drugs and alcohol out of the picture to really build the strong contrast of emotions of rooting for the parents and their child(s) and anguish for the setbacks the characters face.
