Sweetman0 Great movie, Oscar - worthy.

If you are ages between 1 - 10 you might classify this as "boring". I was 9 when I watched this and it was a bit slow at the beggining. Going through every moment of his life but then there was some twists and turns. It got better with each moment and it started to get more exicting like when he loses his job. This is a good movie to demonstrate what it's like to be poor and how it's hard to get through every problem, especially when you have a son to look upto. This is definetly got to be an Oscar winning movie.
Amazing

Here's the deal: It's real, it's heavy, and it's inspirational, but NOT AT ALL cheesy. Don't like that? Don't see it. I won't say much else. I will say that Will Smith was shockingly good now that he's paid his... Full review

They just don't make many this good. The audience and I cried, laughed, cheered and applauded. The climactic scene is as powerful and cathartic as The Shawshank Redemption's golden moment. Will Smith is terrific, his son Jaden is just perfect,... Full review

I was involved with one of the first test audiences almost a year ago, and came away quite impressed with the acting performances and heartfelt punch of Pursuit of Happiness. This is easily one of Smith's best films, as he... Full review
