Sometimes you go into a film blind, without knowing a thing about it. Sometimes you go into a film knowing almost everything about it. And sometimes you go into a film expecting one thing, but getting another.

This latter is what happened to me whilst watching The Pursuit Of Happyness.

To be honest, I was expecting a cliche-ridden Hollywood crapfest - what I got instead was a brilliant picture with an important message.

To really get the full effect you need to watch the film, but I’ll give my thoughts on what I think the filmmakers were trying to convey.

It’s a simple message really - don’t ever let somebody tell you you can’t do something (in fact it’s one of the lines in the film).

I don’t care if you want to be the Prime Minister, an astronaut, a footballer, a millionaire, anything.

As long as you believe it’s going to happen to you, that’s where it starts - then it’s just a matter of time before you get what you desire.

I’ll leave you with the trailer and a suggestion to either get the DVD or watch it next month on Sky.

Goodbye.
