The Pursuit of Happyness

Who would have thought that the lead for The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air would be able to have such a productive movie career. Of course… the same could be said about Tom Hanks and Busom Buddies. Ok, Ok, back to the preview.

Will Smith stars in a movie based on a true story, of a single father who’s trying to raise his son. He works hard, but his job doesn’t pay very well. He meets a guy on Wall Street who is a stock broker, and he realizes that if he was one, then he would have money as well.

He scores an unpaid internship with a stock company and is trying to be a licensed broker. All of this happens, while he’s getting kicked out of his apartment and is homeless with his son. It’s got some emotional parts to it and I’m sure will make you sad in the theaters.

The overall tone of the movie is determination and dedication. My favorite quote from the movie is “If you want something. Go get it. Period” which is said from father to son. Along with “Don’t anyone ever tell you, you can’t do something. Not even me. Alright?” As much as this movie is about overcoming the odds, it’s also a story about a father and a son. His son is his motivation. His fuel for success. That’s what keeps him ticking and pushing forward.

Will Smith sports a new look for the movie, appearing older and more like an average kinda guy than you’re used to seeing him.
