Fatherhood & The Pursuit of Happyness

Last night I watched this film, The Pursuit of Happyness, with Will Smith and his (actual) son surviving on hope, love, devotion, and the courage to persevere.

Some critics, probably who haven’t been or appreciative of struggling fathers, thought it saccharine. After getting my sons to sleep (finally) last night, I sat transfixed throughout, cringing and remembering scenes from my and my father’s life. The ending of the film is better than most struggling fathers experience, which is all the more reason to honor their selfless dedication to family.

For every father who has struggled, and for every wiseass who thinks it's funny to ridicule fathers, watching this film is a must. There are most fathers who give their all for their children, who deserve a hearty Happy Father’s Day.
