What do viewers think?

As a reminder, In Pursuit of Happiness introduces us to Chris Gardner, played by Will Smith. As a sales representative, the latter finds it difficult to earn an income. He does his best to escape, but his partner is becoming less and less tolerant of their uncertainty. She leaves behind Chris and their five-year-old son, Christopher (Jaden Smith).

Now solely responsible for his son, Chris struggles to find a job, to no avail. When he finally gets an internship at a prestigious brokerage firm, he gives it his all, even if it doesn’t get paid for the moment. Unable to pay the rent, she ends up on the street with Christopher.

Father and son sleep in hostels or train stations and search for self-made shelters day after day. Lost in life’s most difficult trial, Chris continues to watch over Christopher, out of love for his son and trusting in his strength to overcome obstacles.

Fandekaoch (5/5): “A moving and exciting film that expresses emotion and sincerity. This film is a true joy, a true lesson in life, courage and sacrifice. It is a true breath of optimism and good humor, despite the dramatic side of the film.”

Kevin T (5/5): “Will Smith, who is not used to this type of independent production, amazes us in the role of a father and a lost man who struggles to find success in his life. The partnership between him and his son (on the screen, as in life) will shine and move us. A script based on a true story , is perfect and moral, although very optimistic, always good!

They didn’t like it

Aldanja (1/5): “An uncritical mainstream film that, despite a good performance by Will Smith, unfortunately glorifies the individualistic spirit.”

Freddie (1/5): “Disappointment. I expected much more. To be honest, the story is repeated over and over again. The production is flat and without any originality. We vaguely sympathize with the plight of this poor man, for whom everything falls into the corner. His head so that he does not really react, the film The only advantage is interpretation.”

Mulder13 (1/5): “The Pursuit of Happyness is a moving story, although the film has many long and unenthusiastic directions. Boredom left me halfway through the film, and it’s not a largely predictable ending that makes up for it. The story’s interest.”
