I first heard about the movie, The Pursuit of Happyness on the Oprah Winfrey Show. I am an Oprah fan and a Will Smith fan. The last few movies recommended by Oprah have been great. I learned about the movie, Walk the Line and Crash on her show and I loved both of them. I had no doubt I would love this movie as well. I loved Will Smith in Hitch with Kevin James, all the Men in Black movies and Independence Day. Oprah had both Will and his son Jaden on her show and of course showed clips of the movie. In addition she had the real Chris Gardner on the show, ( the guy the movie is based on).

Excellent review. I have not seen this, but am now determined to. I love Will Smith. He is so talented. "I, Robot" is one of my favorite movies. Personally, I believe hiring the homeless was a great idea. I have been homeless and know what a blessing any small thing is.

Leigh, thanks for the review. I have this on my list of must sees, not because of Will Smith but because of the San Francisco connection.

Sounds like a movie I would really enjoy. I also like Will Smith and really loved the Men In Black Movies and Independence Day. I also really liked "I Robot" I will look for this movie to come out on HBO or Showtime. Thanks for the review. :)

Great review without giving too much of the movie away.I can't wait to see it.I love Will also.Have you seen "Enemy of the State" with him and Gene Hackman?Or "I, Robot"?He's such a versatile,handsome and enigmatic person.I can't believe that "real homeless people" were hired and paid for the movie.I mean,I believe it,but that sounds so...pathetic?Those people need a lot more than just a little money for a small part in a movie.Anyway,thanks for the review.
