Movie Notes: The Pursuit Of Happyness
Admittedly I haven’t seen too many movies in the theater this year, but this is the best film I saw in 2006. This is the type of movie where I forgot I was in a theater, as I was so caught up with the story, the characters, and how it will all work out. The film is engrossing despite a minimalist approach: Will Smith and his son, 90% of the time. It’s a testament to true acting skill that Smith not only carries this movie, but does it while running with big metal boxes.
