If so, did you relate to it? I totally related to all the struggle he went through. From being totally broke to facing so many obstacles and challenges in order to pursuit a dream. I felt the movie was inspiring and it is proof that you can do whatever you set your mind to as long as you persevere nd work hard for it.

Hello, I watched this film a few weeks ago. I thought it was very inspirational and one of Will Smith's best works yet. I was so pleased to know that he got a nomination for this film. I hope that more parents around the world would watch the film together with their children. I love this movie and I totally recommend people to watch it and learn from it.

Yes, and I liked it. I felt especially bad for him when he had to go to his interview in paint clothes and also when he came to work with only one shoe. I have had many many obstacles and so I can relate to it.

I really enjoyed this movie also. It was a good depiction of the human struggle for happiness, and I found myself crying at several points because it was a storyline that I could relate to. I loved watching Will Smith interact with his own kid....it made ti seem so much more real, and believable. And I loved watching his persistance pay off, gives me encouragement to keep trying at somehting until I suceed

A very good movie indeed. Will Smith really deserves the comments and awards he received for his role. He's awesome in this movie!
The story is not that original in itself, but the way it's told is very cute and kiss curl.

I couldn't relate to it, because I have never had to struggle so hard.
Though it is such an uplifting movie, we complain about such petty things at times and here is this man who loves his son so much and he could have opted for the easy way so many times but he carries on in his pursuit of happyness through so many hardships and heartbreaking times.
Truly inspiring!!!

I've watched the movie and it's really inspiring. There is nothing impossible when you are determined and eager to do what's best for you and your family.

I watched this film and can totally relate to it; I can. I have been close to homelessness once. It wasn't a good feeling; to this day, I try to stay in my house. I have been broke, I have been out of work and after watching this movie, I promised myself to make sure I had enough in the bank and kept my stuff together so I would never go through that.

i just finished watching this movie. i think that whatever "happyness" is for each and every one of us, we always go through the process of pursuing it. it's never easy. there's always obstacles. sometimes you feel like you're too close to it, only to find out it's not within your reach and it's maybe even unreachable. the movie is very touching and it teaches us that indeed 'happyness' can be pursued and can be attained.
