Yankee Brainwashing

So this is the American dream. A whole nation has been told to believe this twaddle. For him the pursuit of happiness was the pursuit of money. Working for 6 months for no money as he drags his son from public toilet to homeless shelters for months on end. Living with alcoholics, drug users and down and outs. NO money for food does it ever end. At any point in the movie he could have got a job and feed and housed his under five but no !!! Endless running and running and for the happy ending he gets his pot of gold. Should have been called ' THE PURSUIT OF GREED'

WARNING - DO NOT WATCH IF SUFFERING WITH SUICIDAL TENDENCIES

Once I was a Happy Go Lucky Person with out a care in the world and lived a very pleasent life then one night my Mrs suggested we watch 'In The Pursuit of Happyness'............. Happyness! the only happy point in this film where I experienced any Happyness is when the end credits rolled. This is possibly the longest, most boring, depressing and miserable excuss for a film I have ever had the mis-fortune to sit through.

I am now a shadow of my former self, in a continual state of depression, poping pills by the bucket load, I have developed a twitch, my Mrs has left me, I have lost my Job, I have lost my home, I have turned to drink and drugs and spend my evenings talking to the samaritans via my wi-fi link which I have set up in my cardboard box. YES IT REALLY WAS THAT BAD. DON'T GO THERE, GIVE IT A WIDE BIRTH...... DON'T RENT THIS FILM!!!!!
