Pursuit of Happyness

Cathie and I went on a date the other night and saw the movie The Pursuit of Happyness with Will Smith. I can't remember the last time I walked out of a movie that drained and down. The movie ends on a high note, but you spend two hours watching Will Smith's character, Charlie Gardner take hit after hit. You spend so much of the movie willing things to go right for the guy and it's exhausting. The movie is great in that it puts life in perspective, things like having a hot water heater and dryer go in the same week for instance. You walk away reminded of the plight of the poor and how the smallest things can help. Good flick, but take a Xanax before you gou.
