The Pursuit of Happyness

In my opinion, movies generally based on true stories have a ton of heart and emotion depicted on screen. Well, in the opinion of Robert Wilonsky of the Village Voice, The Pursuit of Happyness is a movie with bad performances and horrible directing. Wilonsky picks apart this movie from Will Smith's performance to the entire movie as a whole. He said, "The movie, the first English-language film directed by Italian Gabriele Muccino, is too emotionally slick to work, too visually glib to have an impact, made by people who think grit is something that's brought in by the prop department." He criticizes this film without any mercy. This man is so severe in his writing style because he honestly does not care what others think about the film or how much money it made overall.
