The Pursuit of Happyness (DVD, 2007, Full Frame)

I gotta say - I had some doubts about Will Smith taking on a serious role. Afer all, picture the Man In Black as dad down and out on his luck, living on the street, and in homeless missions while trying to go through an unpaid internship with a major brokerage firm.
The show had a lot of tough moments - living in the missions, fighting through the lines to get in. And, it had a few really great lines.
We watched it with the kids, and my ten year old really got into it. My wife even cried at a few points. So I guess Will Smith pulled off that serious role just fine.
I say The Pursuit of Happiness is a definite thumbs up.
