Pursuit of Happyness
Interesting sounding new movie out that according to Don Luskin is a "Terrific true story of a beleaguered black man who, in 1981, through taking tremendous personal risks that allowed his innate talents and intelligence to shine through, rose from homelessness to wealth as a stockbroker. And all with no government handouts or affirmative action."
The critics have given it mixed reviews, though Rotten Tomatoes.com (movie review distiller) still ranks it as a "fresh," meaning pretty good.
The movie of course is enormously helped by star Will Smith's incredible star power. It opened over the weekend and took top position among current releases, with one report noting it pulled "a stunning $9,467 per theater in 2,852 locations."
I can't wait to see it and hope that it is as good as Don says and hits a responsive chord with the public.
