The Pursuit of Happyness
(USA, 2006, 114 minutes)
In 1981 San Francisco, a struggling medical device salesman decides to apply for an unpaid internship at a brokerage firm, just when his wife leaves him and their five-year old son and money runs out. Rags-to-riches star tearjerker based on a true story; not bad as these things go, and with a good star performance (acting opposite his real-life son), but pushing all the right buttons at all the right times.

Michael Riva; costume designer, Sharen Davis; film editor, Hughes Winborne.
