Reviews

amine_bouzid The first time I watched this movie I wasn't quite sure what to expect. What I got was not only an amazing movie with great acting, but an inspiring message of how to be resilient in life in order to get what you want. This is by far Will Smith's best performance as an actor, and I'm surprised he hasn't been awarded an Oscar for this movie. I never cry for movies but this popped my cherry, the end is unbelievably satisfying. By far my favourite movie.

carolynvargas The Pursuit of Happyness is an alright movie which could have been a great movie if they had only managed to tone down the saccharine feel of the proceeding. The intentions aren't wrong, and Will Smith should be commended for his portrayal but at over two hours it is way too long and ineptly directed to be recommended. If you are a hardcore Will Smith fan you should have a look and maybe it will even appeal to you (the movie has sharply divided critics and audiences) but for what its worth The Pursuit of Happiness is a middling effort.

pavanjainec Will Smith has given his best... No words to explain the character portrayal by him.

sadija91 I have just watched this movie for the first time and I am completely speechless..mostly because I'm bawling my eyes out..I always knew that Will Smith is a good actor, but in this movie - he just blew me away ! The scene at the end where he is offered a permanent job at the firm..the look on his face..relief..sadness and just a whole lot of emotion..that's what did it for me..All the things that he went through throughout the movie to get to where he's at - just flashed before my eyes.. Sleeping in the men's room with his son..sleeping in a subway..selling his blood..wow ! Really amazing movie.. 9/10 in my opinion.. !
