Don't waste your time or money - The Pursuit of Happyness Reviews

I had such high hopes for this movie after seeing the previews and seeing the real life story featured on Oprah. I was sorely disappointed. The movie has no substance, no depth, and no background. It tells what could have been a very profound, life-changing story, but does not tell you the why or how. It only mentions the main character's background; other than that, it fails to examine any of the characters in depth. It is a very surface, very superficial movie. It devotes all of 1 minute at the end to tell you the outcome of the story. Will Smith's acting was just ok. The child in this movie was more believable and a much better actor than Will Smith. Please go so Blood Diamond instead of this. Blood Diamond is a profound, potentially life-changing movie. The Pursuit of Happyness, on the other hand, is a poor excuse for a movie.
