Are you suffering from insomnia? pofh could help. - The Pursuit of Happyness Reviews

This movie is terrible. Boring. Long. Horribly done. It may have been a feel-good story, unfortunately they decided not to show any of the parts that could have possibly been entertaining (his rise as a broker, how he distinguished himself among the interns in the program, how he got stuck with all of the scanners, etc.). Instead we get to see Will Smith running. Seriously, that is what occurs in 90% of the movie. He runs for buses, for trains, for cars, into cars, after homeless hippies, and more. There is hardly any dialogue. Nothing really happens on screen. All of the big events are just alluded to. Also, most of the movie repeats the same sequences over and over again...it's like they only had ten days to film it. We get to see Will Smith chase after a hippie who stole one of his scanners, then fifteen minutes later (amazingly, implausibly) we get to see him do the same thing again. Wedged in between is a scene where he flees a cabbie who chases him. We also have the pleasure of seeing him stand in line for a homeless shelter....LIKE TEN TIMES!!! We get the point, he's poor. How about showing us how he succeeds, not just telling us that he does in a caption at the end. Absolutely terrible.
