The Pursuit of Happyness

I had to write an additional blog about the most excellent movie, The Pursuit of Happyness. I LOVED LOVED LOVED this film. I won't spill any beans here by listing major plot points...no spoilers here. Just the basic synopsis and a shameless plug. Will Smith stars as a down-on-his-luck single dad who decides to pursue the impossible, an internship with Dean Witter. The movie follows his struggles to accomplish his dream and be a good parent at the same time. What makes this movie extra sweet is that Will's own son, Jaden Christopher Syre Smith, stars as his kid. He does a really good job too.

At the risk of sounding like a film critic, Will Smith turns in an Oscar-worthy performance. I don't get the chance to see too many movies do to the expensive ticket prices and a lack of childcare. So when the opportunity presented itself this past weekend to go see this movie, I was jumped at the chance. There are a lot of good ones out right now, but this one is a cut above the rest. and in case you are wondering about the spelling of Happyness, you'll have to go see it to understand it.
