No that is not a typo *sigh*. Just watch the film, then you'll get it.
The Pursuit of Happiness, a film that is amazing (and I'm not saying that cause I watched it at 2am when I clearly should've been sleeping) and "heart string tugging" at the same time, inspired by a true story the plot of the film in a nutshell is about a man, Chris Gardner (Will Smith) who fights to become an employee of a business firm after landing an internship after impressing a man, with a Rubix cube.
(Spoiler alert)
Chris goes on to show his worth to the company but is left distraught when he can't afford a good life for his son (Jaden Smith) and almost rejects the internship. Nevertheless, thanks to Chris's dedication and compassion for his son he manages to get the job.

As you've been reading this (assuming you read through the spoiler and haven't watched the film) you might feel like this movie is pretty boring and generic.
HOWEVER, have you ever heard the saying ,"It's about the journey and not the destination"?
That's pretty much what this film is; the lengths that Chris goes to and the emotional backlash that comes with it is what makes this film a superb watch.

The film really makes you think about what you've taken for granted in your life (and what the hell happened to Jaden Smith as well) and leaves you "feeling" after watching it.
Interested Concentrated (Yasaru) rates this film: 8.5/10
