The Pursuit of Happyness

I had a chance to see this movie by Will Smith (Mr. Chess Lover) and his son Jaden Christopher Syre Smith today. I did not know what to expect as Will Smith is not really known for this kind of role. I have to say that I was very pleasantly surprised. He is fantastic in this role and fully deserves the Oscar Nomination. The movie itself is also good and inspirational. I give it 2 thumbs up!

Synopsis: Chris Gardner (Will Smith) is a bright and talented, but marginally employed salesman. Struggling to make ends meet, Gardner finds himself and his five-year-old son evicted from their San Francisco apartment with nowhere to go. When Gardner lands an internship at a prestigious stock brokerage firm, he and his son endure many hardships, including living in shelters, in pursuit of his dream of a better life for the two of them.
