The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)
Gut wrenching, thought provoking and touching
When I went into the movie theater to see "Pursuit of Happiness" I was expecting a gushy, sappy, overly emotional movie. What I ended up seeing was a movie that made me cry when the characters were sad, laugh when the character were happy, and I just felt all of the character's emotions.
The story is about the life of Chris Gardner (Will Smith). It chronicles the various periods of his life. Gardner dreams of making a better life for his son (Jaden Christopher Syre Smith). Gardner enters a competitive internship with a very slim chance of getting the one job available.
The movie includes some beautiful father-son moments and some tear-jerking moments. A must see movie as well as a must see performance by Will Smith. His performance in this movie gained Smith an Oscar nomination.
Yes, Dear (2000)
One of my favorites
These days it is rare to find a sitcom that is consistently entertaining.I watch this every day in the afternoon. It is very funny, and I have yet to see a mediocre episode. The contrast of the two couples works very well, and the timing is also excellent. In addition, I find that unlike many sitcoms, although it includes a laugh track, they do turn on the laugh track to try to force moments to be "funny," and it does not have 1 minute long laughing that makes the moments awkward (like everybody loves Raymond, which I do not understand.) This show is a gem, but not many people have heard of it. This makes me upset, because I think if more people saw this show, then it would be a larger success. In my area, "Yes Dear" is on T.V on TBS on weekdays starting at 4 o clock.
