Dreary, depressing and not for kids! - The Pursuit of Happyness Reviews

I can't believe I sat through this whole movie. Gee, it has Will Smith and a little kid, so I brought my 11 year old along. What a mistake. Definately NOT for kids. Not really for adults either, not for anyone. Hey, I was almost homeless, twice. Living paycheck to paycheck, lost a job. Has happened to many of us. That is the premise for this rags to riches story, but what a horrible movie to tell this story. It is depressing, non-stop, start to finish. The happy ending does not overcome this, and does not salvage the dreary tone of the entire movie. Plus, it goes on, forever. I couldn't wait to leave, and I kept asking my 11 year old if she wanted to go. She didn't like the movie either, but wanted to stick it out. I felt like I sat through a 5 hour boring epic. Just hated it, and I am definately a Will Smith fan. This is his worst film.
