This movie made me cry. It's based on a true story of a man that is struggling to make ends meets, wtih his son. It shows what this man went through to get where he is today. It has a happy ending, I liked that about it. Alot of people can relate to this character. Even me. But it shows to never give up hope.

one thing i feel could have helped this movie is more exposition on the protagonist's feelings of worthlessness. the film seemed to have an unneeded emphasis on the child. while i realize the well-being of the child is of utmost importance in the real life situation, the story is after all about the father, not the son.

"Hey. Don't ever let somebody tell you... you can't do something. Not even me. All right?"
"You got a dream... You gotta protect it. People can't do somethin' themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want somethin', go get it. Period." -
MCT:October 3, 2008I liked Will Smith in the movie and the directon he is going as an actor. Yet the ending is really awful, contradicts the whole message of the movie, so that was a huge setback for me. Anyone, worth watching it is though.

One of my new favorite movies. Show's that determiniation, can get you anything. I think Will Smith's best movie. They left a few lose strings, at the end, I wish they would of closed up but other then that it was really good
-
MCT:October 2, 2008Actually made me tear up a bit. If you watch this from beginning to end and become invested in this character's struggle, I don't think you can feel any less great than Smith does at the end of the movie when he applauds himself and you end up wanting to clap too. You feel that sense of his accomplishment. That's why Will carries this 'decent' movie with absolutely fantastic acting job.
-
MCT:October 1, 2008one of my favorites..it breaks my heart out to see how difficult his life was..so unbelievable when you see how rich he is today..I salute you Chris Gardner..well of course Will Smith for playing the role very well.

MCT:September 29, 2008This movie was alright. It had great potential - it had good emotion and direction, but I think it was a bit drawn-out. There were parts that didn't to be as long as they were, and parts that weren't long enough. Although the ending was complete, it didn't feel very satisfying. It was still a touching movie, though. Just another movie to prove that Will Smith is such a talented actor.

MCT:September 29, 2008The Pursuit of Happyness: 110 minutes of depression and 2 minutes of happiness. Although that does ironically match up with real life.

A serious Will Smith! Can you believe it! The movie is rather good, and the kid is really sweet, but I wasn't crazy about it.

OUTSTANDING!! Will Smith gives a Stellar performance,this movie does NOT disappoint.Most people would not have half the tenacity and preservation that Chris Gardner has.Be ready to cry this is a true story of integrity,humility, and faith and a man with an unshakeable love for his son,who would stop at nothing until he made his dreams come true.5 Stars all the way!!

Great movie. Will Smith good as usual and his son Jaden is also very good. I hope we will see him in many good movies in the future!

The first rule of movies is that anything with Will Smith in the cast automatically labled cool by all standards. This film is a sweeping emotional epic eye nearly cried while watching it,(haa not really eye never cry)! But on a lighter note this movie highlights just what a phenomenal actor Will is. Never before by any drama film have eye been so moved by. This film is extremly thought provoking if one homeless man can make it through the world why are some just standing on the side of the road begging for beer or drug money? Eye cannot express how much eye loved this movie so eye'll so stop here. If you haven't expierenced this powerful film do yourself a favor and find the means to view this film.

Oh, lovely, lovely. It was heart-wrenching and aesthetic but it wasn't a liberal make that targeted the government. It was about a man making it as he should, woring hard, so hard, and upholding responsibility and getting exactly what he deserved--his reward. Will Smith = brilliance.

gotta agree with "themoreuse". What is this movie supposed to mean? The guy went through all this shit and didn't realize much. He still entered into the machine after seeing throughout the movie that all of this was complete crap and fakeness. Ok acting overall.

This is a brilliant movie with lots of sadness and sympathy. It's really hard to believe that this actually happens... the deadly secret in the world.
