From Greater Union:

"Pursuit Of Happyness M
(Infrequent moderate coarse language)

Released: Thursday, 11 January 2007
Struggling to make ends meet, a single father (Will Smith) and his five-year-old son are evicted from their apartment and must endure many hardships, including living in shelters in pursuit of his dream of a better life for the two of them."

That synopsis sounds hell boring and cliched.

But the ads and trailer look good so I might go see it. No my kind of movie but it looks good and I like seeing Will Smith in serious roles even though I loooooove the Fresh prince of Bel Air LOL

OH DEAR GOD IS IT THAT FREAKING HARD TO SPELL FUCKING HAPPINESS?

I MEAN REALLY! ARE THEY RETARDED? WHO THE HELL DOES THAT?

Now that I've gotten that rant out, the only thing I will ever think when I see anything for this movie is how stupid they are for misspelling happiness.

Fucking idiots. I'm not going to see it because they misspelled it and it looked sort of good until I saw the damn title.

This angered me greatly also. However, I have heard that apparently there is a reason for that spelling that is explained in the film... or something... :s

I think the movie's adapted from a novel and in the book there's a scene with kids at daycare misspelling 'happiness' and the narrator saying that it doesn't matter how it's spelt as long as you are happy.

I think this movie looks pretty good. I'll most likely be seeing it.

Are you alright?

Seriously. I'm pedantic as all hell but how can anyone be so dense as to think they just mispelt it for no actual reason?

I don't care if there's a reason, it's just a retarded thing to do.

I can understand that there is one. But really when kids these days can barely spell why give them more reason to fuck it up?

You are obviously not as pedantic as me when it comes to spelling.

I saw it today. I thought it was pretty good. The story has obviously been changed a bit to make the movie more interesting but plenty of it is true. You will understand why happiness is wrong when you see it. I won't ruin it for you by saying anything else.
