The real deal - The Pursuit of Happyness Reviews

A "message movie about homelessness"? I think not. Obviously, E! Online, Dezhda Mountz never experienced anything too scary....like being a mother of two teenagers who did not yet have a job and whose ex-husband wasn't living up to expectations of "a Christian man". I wondered why my shoulder muscles were so tense for the first half of the film. It was because I identified with the absolute terror of how Chris Gardner/I was going to provide for his son/my two kids. No, we weren't homeless, I just relied on the good Lord to work in mysterious ways, keeping a roof over our heads, and providing food for us. But I gotta tell ya, Will Smith and his real life son did a good job of portraying "you do what you've got to do". This movie provides REAL inspiration. Karen Schwartz
