Don't be fooled by the cute title and the heartwarming shots of Jaden Smith tying his dad's tie: The bulk of Will Smith's latest movie, The Pursuit of Happyness, is neither happy nor heartwarming.

It's cool that there's a new trailer out for Will Smith's upcoming heartwarming drama Seven Pounds, even if it doesn't offer much insight into what the movie is about. I turned to IMDB for a little help, so here's the plot description as found on the Seven Pounds page: "Ben (Will Smith) is an IRS agent who is depressed and guilt-ridden about mistakes from his past.
