The Pursuit of Happyness

 
I didn't quite know what to expect when I first entered the cinema. I'd seen the trailer, and heard the word that it was good, but still wasn't sure.I really enjoyed this film though, we all knew how it would turn out before the movie began, but this movie was about the journey getting there, not the goal itself. The ups and downs of Will Smith's character, Chris Gardner, struggling with staying on his feet and taking care of his son, Christopher, it was very well told.
It was so hard to think that this was the same Will Smith that was in "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and the "Men in Black" movies. He's really grown as an actor, and out of the films I've seen him in I have to say that it's his best role to date. I really enjoyed his work in this film, it was very subtle, he seemed so at ease playing this man.
