The Pursuit of Happyness Storyline
1981, San Francisco. In what limited academic opportunities he has had in his life, Chris Gardner has demonstrated that he is a smart man. Yet he is struggling financially in his life. He has invested all his money on portable bone density scanners, which he personally sells to physicians. Despite being a better product than x-rays machines, they are also far more expensive, meaning that they are an unnecessary luxury for most physicians. He needs to sell three scanners per month just to meet the basic necessities to support his family, his wife, Linda, and their five year old son, Christopher, on who he dotes since he didn’t know his own father when he was a child. But lately, that has been three per month more than he has sold, resulting in an increasing embittered Linda continually needing to work double shifts doing manual work at a laundry, which still isn’t enough to cover those basic costs, they being currently behind three months rent. Chris can’t afford to pay his parking ticket, meaning that he has to take the bus everywhere now as the clamp remains on the tire of his car. Feeling like the scanner is not the answer to their financial problems, Chris, with or without Linda’s blessing, decides to take a chance by switching careers when he sees that brokerage and securities firm Dean Witter has a six month internship program, which only admits twenty applicants, leading to only one intern being hired at the end of the process. It isn’t until he is well immersed into the process that he learns that the internships are non-paying. Based largely on his chutzpah, Chris, against the odds, gets one of the twenty positions. With some changes in their lives resulting in fewer expenses, Chris figures he needs to sell his remaining six scanners just to scrape by for those six months. But some unexpected issues arise which leads to the Gardners possibly not making it through this phase of their lives financially, something he has to hide from his superiors at Dean Witter if he has any chance at all of making it through the internship and getting that paying job with them.

The Pursuit of Happyness Movie Reviews
Exceptionally painful to watch but Will Smith’s performance is very, very nice.
“The Pursuit of Happiness” is one of the more painful to watch films I have ever seen. Now I am NOT saying it’s a bad film–but it’s very hard watching the main character, as his life is an absolute mess and you really want to see him succeed in spite of a horrible series of downturns.
The film begins with Chris (Will Smith) playing a struggling father and husband. His salesman job is not working out at all–and that’s a problem, as without sales he cannot get paid. At the same time, his wife is clearly not happy–and hates to have a failure for a husband–and she sees him as a failure. Beyond this, time and time again, he has many, many setbacks in life until eventually his wife leaves. Now, without a salary, he’s trying to somehow work something out so he can keep his son, Christopher (Jaden Smith–Will’s real life son). But, before things can get better, things get a lot worse…and it truly is painful to watch as he scrambles to somehow make it.
Whether or not you enjoy this film really depends on if you can stick with it. Considering how painful it becomes and how much you like the guy, it’s a real chore to stick with it. No matter how many times bad things happen to Chris, it just keeps coming! But, on the other hand, the film is worth it if you stick with it. Will Smith’s acting is just terrific–I was amazed how much he could convey with just his eyes. I can understand why he was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor for this film. And, since it’s based on a real story about real people, it does (FORTUNATELY) end well and is a very satisfying film overall.
Will Smith good in one note movie
Chris Gardner (Will Smith) is a struggling traveling salesman who is falling further and further behind. His wife Linda (Thandie Newton) is frustrated and finally leaves him. He gets a job as a stock broker but it’s an internship that pays nothing. Eventually, he loses his apartment and they become homeless.
It’s a very earnest movie. This is not a movie with laughs. Will Smith is playing a very intense character. Jaden Smith is too young to be anything other than a prop. Will is able to paint a picture of a desperate man trying to stay with his kid. It is however the same note that gets played over and over again. The good news is that he plays that note very well.
