I had so much fun with My Week with Marilyn that I decided that I should do a series called, “My Week with a Movie”. I will spend the week diving into a movie and exploring its themes. I thought I should start this series with the movie, “The Pursuit of Happyness.” There a couple reasons for this choice….
1. It is so touching and inspirational (and I love touching and inspirational).
2. Will Smith and I have the same coach. Will came and spoke to our studio… so I have a story from this movie and also some Will Wisdom I would like to share.
3. I am currently in pursuit of my happiness, so I thought it would be appropriate.
So I present to you, THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS!
I want to start my “Week with a Movie” with a little review of the movie, but every time I started to write a review for this movie, I felt like my words didn’t give the movie and the performances the justice it deserves. So I thought I would show you 4 clips (that speak for themselves) that show Chris Gardner’s Struggle, Opportunity, Pursuit and Happiness.

Such an amazing story. Tears are streaming down my face!
Thank you for reminding me about this movie! It is so inspiring!
Oh my gosh! I had forgotten how much I liked that movie……so, so good!
