    8 / 10

    Power is in the act of buying it. For this is the ultimate story of the American dream. And it sticks in the heart. Perhaps because it is a little, a little messy. - Karolina Fjellborg

    Will Smith plays against his son in the film "The Pursuit of Happyness". The father-son relationship is largely the film's strongest element. - Boel Gerell

    "The Pursuit of Happyness" is one of the few American films that shows how people live and survive. It is a film that admires a smart stockbroker, but also has empathy for a homeless alcoholic. - Martin Steijer

    5 / 10

    "The Pursuit of Happyness" is based on a true story and yet another version of the American success story, where the little person spits in their fists and works their way up against all odds with their family's best interests in mind. - Karoline Eriksson

    4 / 10

    "The Pursuit of Happyness" is not a bad film, but it is a bit too overstated and has too many flat supporting characters, which means it doesn't engage as much as it could have. - Johan Lindström
