Mr. Smith Goes to the Financial District


"The Pursuit of Happyness" is the true Hollywood story of Christopher Gardner, played by Will Smith, and his son, who is played by Smith's real life son, Jaden. In this film with a misspelled title, Christopher was left by his wife to support and raise their only child. The only problem is that Christopher is broke. So he does what any responsible parent in his position would do, and gets an unpaid internship. Fueled by the desire to drive a Ferrari and feed his kid, Gardener is triumphantly able to achieve the American Dream. If this trailer doesn't make you cry, then you are just a jerk.

By the way, when you decide to see this, keep an eye open for Dan Castellaneta, the voice of Homer J. Simpson.
