Will Smith stars in the inspirational true story of Chris Gardner, a San Francisco salesman who's struggling to make ends meet. When his girlfriend Linda (Thandie Newton) walks out, Chris is left to raise their 5-year-old son Christopher (Jaden Smith) on his own. Chris' determination finally pays off when he lands an unpaid internship in a brutally competitive stockbroker-training program, where only one in twenty interns will make the cut. But without a salary, Chris and his son are evicted from their apartment and are forced to sleep on the street, in homeless shelters and even behind the locked doors of a metro station bathroom. With self- confidence and the love and trust of his son, Chris Gardner rises above his obstacles to become a Wall Street legend.

« Feel-good tale: There is no substitute for hard work! » Based on a true story, "The Pursuit of Happyness" features Will Smith as Chris Gardner, a struggling San Francisco medical equipment salesman beset with financial problems. Tired of the struggle, his wife moves out and leaves him with their little boy. As they spiral down the financial shaft, they are reduced to sleeping in homeless shelters and in subway bathrooms. Gardner lands an unpaid internship to become a Dean Witter stockbroker. Juggling the demands of fatherhood, keeping financial wolves at bay, selling his remaining inventory of bone density scanners and cracking the books to become a broker, Smith's character pursues his vision like one who has run out of alternatives. Yes, it's a bit hokey and at times requires you to swallow the implausible, but this is an uplifting film that can inspire you to overcome obstacles and achieve your goals. .:. Rating: 4 / 5
