Allen and I rented The Pursuit of Happyness and finally got a chance to watch it yesterday. It aims to be a feel good, American Dream type of movie and I felt like it fell just short of being truly inspiring.The story of Chris Gardner is basically unbelievable. I mean, this guy's luck is so bad, it's just one roadblock after another up until the very end of the movie. It's based on a true story, but I have to say that I think they embellished a little.
It's a decent rental if you like feel good, family type movies. As an added bonus, Jaden Smith is super cute throughout the movie.

I give it a 7/10. A better film about single parent tribulations is Kramer vs. Kramer.
OMG, Allen. I absolutely positively LOVE K vs K. Saw it in film class in college. Cried rivers. I say, "Isa kang henyo." That's Tagalog for "You are a geeeniussss."
Right on, J! Jenny didn't like it...I think she has something against Dustin Hoffman's nose.
