Looking for a feel-good movie with the holidays here? See The Pursuit of Happyness  at your own risk. Despite the title’s promise of mirth and the poster’s father-son moment, this is no Happy Feet—or even, for that matter, Happiness. It’s a modern-day story of Job that’ll quell any urge to complain. Ever. About anything. Not that that isn’t a good thing. Just that the movie’s marketing can throw you off. Don’t go expecting “Happyness.”
