If you loved Seven Pounds, try The Pursuit of Happyness

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

What The Pursuit of Happyness is

San Francisco streets, winter rain, a portable bone density scanner. A single father and his young son share a bus station bathroom, a small suitcase between them. This biographical drama lands best on a cold winter morning.
