Very depressing - The Pursuit of Happyness Reviews

I saw the man, upon whose story this movie was based, interviewed by Oprah Winfrey. I expected this movie to be a wonderfully uplifting story on believing in yourself and persevering through any obstacle. It was the extreme opposite - not one moment of positive. I was exhausted by the time this all too long movie ended. It just goes to show the Hollywood folks really don't have a clue about what "real" people would view as entertainment. They seem to focus upon making a statement or name for themselves. Too bad. Just five minutes (of the movie?s two hours) showing an ending that reflected what really happened would have make a big difference. I left the theatre depressed.
