After his previous average movies (I, Robot, and Hitch) at the box office, this is going to be redemption for Will Smith. We decided to have a movie marathon for the holidays. Ended up watching “In pursuit of Happyness”.

One word says it all. MARVELOUS. Will Smith does an outstanding job as Chris Gardner, and I liked the way he played the character. Will Smith delivers a great performance and so does his real life son Jaden. The kid is terrific; the kid has got some of the best genes from dad & mom. Wonderful performance.

Chris Gardner’s story is of utter determination; if you want something in life, go get it, period!

Chris Gardner’s story was broadcast on 20/20 4-5 years back and Will Smith happen to see it and made a Oscar nominee out of it.

The best line ”Quitting is a Sin”.

The very last scene when Will and his son cross the street talking the knock-knock joke and the real Chris Gardner crosses the street.

I could keep writing…but let me stop here and you guys go & enjoy it in the theater.

Next on our list is Rocky Balboa & Night at the museum.

if it ain’t over, till its over.

UPDATES: dropped our plans of having a movie marathon as the above 2 movies didn’t meet our expectations

Good Shepherd seems to be good but 2 long (2 hrs & 50 minutes). May be I should get a large popcorn/soda & head for the show.
