Dirt poor to plain ole dirt!! - The Pursuit of Happyness Reviews

Due to climbing prices at the movies, I am very picky on which movies I go see. I had seen the trailer for the "Pursuit of Happyness" and was very excited to go see this movie. Will Smith portrayed a very selfish father and husband in this film. Instead of using his smarts to get a real paying job to help his wife keep the family fed and properly housed, he decides that it is more important to pursue his own dreams and in doing so puts his son at danger, and neglects the commitment to his marriage. When his wife says that she has an job offer to join her sister in NYC at her brother-in-law's resturaunt, and she wanted to take her son, Christopher with her, so he can have a better life, Will Smith's Character, Chris, refuses. IF he really cared about his son, he would have told the wife to take the kid, while he gets back on his feet. I also believe that he could have had more compassion for his wife, she is pulling double shifts, he could have listened to her. She is as skinny as a rale, tired and losing hope. Where's the love? IF he was a real man, husband, father, he would have put his dreams aside for a little while, and in the meantime, got a small, but paying job to help support his family. Then later, maybe worked something out to be able to accomadate his dreams. This movie was VERY disappointing and I am very angry that I wasted my time and money on it!!!
