The Pursuit of Happyness

All I have to say is - WOW. Absolutely amazing film. Will Smith was brilliant in it, no wonder he's up for a Golden Globe.

I'd never go to see a film with such bad spelling in the title.

The reason there's a Y in the spelling of it is because of the daycare that the son went to in the film - it was spelled with a y and Will Smith's character used to give out about it a bit saying that it is spelled with an i

Lol, I thought it was because americans spell everything different

Good film though, really good. May snatch the oscar for Smith.

Oh? I thought it was going to be some African American bastardisation of the English language like the way they say "Axe" instead of "Ask" or "Fiddy Cent" instead of "Fifty pence".

Glad to hear the usage couldn't be further from the case.

Yah it's written on the wall outside the daycare place. They talk about it at the start of the movie. I'd say Smith will definitely be in a good position to get the Oscar. His son was great too in it, his first ever acting role!

Well unless the film is about the pursuit of this particular daycare centre then it is still a misspelling in the title and it looks awful printed all over billboards and bus shelters.

I haven't been this outraged since the movie Paycheck.

Surely "Final Destination 2" also had you apoplectic with rage. That one really annoyed me anyway.

It's a good film monkeyfudge, I personally will refund your admission to you if you don't enjoy it.

I'm not a fan of Will Smith, in fact I wan't going to go and see it because he was in it. However his performance completely changed my opinion of him as an actor. I hope he wins an oscar, this is the best film I've seen in ages.
