For a holiday celebration, HHH went to see Will Smith's fine cinematic feature Pursuit of Happyness. (The outing was made possible by a donation from the city's finest dentists - Josh and Elizabeth Damesek. Thank you!). The adventure began with our car ride. The mini-van's side doors refused to open, so one-by-one folks climbed in through the rear door, toppling into the back seat. When we arrived at the oh-so-swank Phillip's Place, the crew declined to get out of the vehicle in front of the theater, as not to make a spectacle with our rear-door-exit. Instead, we parked and made our spectacle snapping numerous photographs at the large marble fountain, marking the theater's entrance.

The film itself was moving - and even more moving was to watch the film with individuals who have experienced what Will Smith's character experienced - the slow slipping into homelessness, the turn away at the shelter door, the burden of carrying all you own with you. Inspired we were at the end of the film. The only complaint? Beverly commented she would have liked to have seen more of Chris Gardner's victory, not only his struggles.

Here is a review written by Robert Gore, a new member of HHH:

Will Smith is a very talented actor and extremely smart as well. I am truly inspired He had a rare style of running throughout the film which amasses his physical fitness. I’ll indicate how clever Will was to include his biological son in this film, which opens many avenues for young Jaden.

I really thought Will Smith has done it this time in this movie; He surrounds family uniqueness and a sheer drive to succeed, a complete package of life’s trials facing him in the contents of this picture, yet will continue on.

Truly this is a must see film as I myself got so much inspiration in which I shall utilize in my daily struggle. All these ultimate comments can be projected in a well defined outlet. AWESOME
