Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

dana_ciurtean Will Smith and his son are doing an amazig role, purely brilliant. The movie has all the ingredients for a master piece: great story, emotional moments, surprise elements. 100% recommend it

Helio So many reviews (600+) and only about the first/top thirty get read/acknowledged. I'm not sure I saw the film the same way as others. The kid (Jadeen Smith) was great. The father seemed to be a con man, as if a continuation of "Six Degrees of Separation". There were not enough scenes of connecting with his son and too many of him being short (angry) that I would have thought the child would be conflicted as to where he stood. Then there was no satisfactory showing how things changed, if they did, once success was achieved. Was the relationship better? Were they spending quality time together or did the 'pusuit of happiness' continue to interfere?

slightlymad22 Continuing my plan to watch every Will Smith movie in order, I come to Pursuit Of Happiness (2006)Plot In A Paragraph: Chris Gardner (Will Smith) a struggling salesman, takes custody of his son as he's poised to begin a life-changing professional career.I think this is a great movie and features a great Will Smith performance, but it's one I never revisit, as it's such a tough watch. Until the final 10 minuted, it's a seriously depressing movie. You feel so sorry for Chris, as despite him trying his best, he simply can't catch a break.Jaden Smith was fine, Thandie Newton puts it a defent shift, but this movie is all about Smith's performance, he was deservedly nominated for an Oscar, and can consider himself unlucky not to have won. That is taking nothing away from Forest Whitaker, he was great too.It was one of the greatest frustrations of my life, that I never could do a rubix cube. I spent hours trying to achieve the feat.Pursuit Of Happiness grossed $163 million at the domestic box office, to end the year the 10th highest grossing movie of 2006.

Robert Burnier Will Smith may have been good in this film. It may have been effectively made, acted, produced and directed. A well packaged product. People may have walked out of this film feeling very good at the end.But they shouldn't.It represents a dark explication of the "American Dream" in which we are called to celebrate the fact that a father hung out with his kid in public bathrooms until by chance he "made it" with some big corporation.That's a nightmare from beginning to end and explains a lot of what's broken about our attitudes toward society. It allows us to leave the theater clucking: "Yes, if only all those black fathers would do this, they'd be fine, maybe even rich. Its really all their fault." Awful. 2/10 stars (not 1 only because I respect the acting.)
