The story of the movie is just run-of-the-mill. Very typical “from rags to riches” formula. I always see that in Filipino films. I still like it though because of Will Smith’s believable acting and the cuteness of his son Jaden.
The movie is depressing. I don’t know but I didn’t cry. I wanted to shed tears but there’s nil. Bummer! I was planning to weep before entering the cinema. Don’t fret coz you may cry here. It’s just me.
The very good thing about here is the inspirational story of Chris Gardner. His pursuit of happiness. At first I was intrigued with its title. “Hey they spelled it wrong! Happyness? With Y? Why?”. It was explained in the film so I won’t spoil here for you.
The inclusion of the Rubik’s Cube is awesome too.
I like biofilms such as “Erin Brockovich”. It was the ultimate moving film for me. Of course it was nominated for Best Picture, Director, Screenplay & Actress; eventually made Julia Roberts an Oscar winner! Will was nominated here but he didn’t win and it’s the only nomination from this film.
I think the film will move you too.
