For a few weeks now, unsuspecting moviegoers have been assaulted by a trailer for the forthcoming holiday heartwarmer, The Pursuit Of Happyness [sic]. The apparently true story concerns a single father, played by Will Smith, working to make a better life for his son by completing an internship at Dean Witter to become a stockbroker. The trailer shows us that Smith's character is proud (homeless, he locks himself and his son in a public men's room, and cries), determined (getting hit by a cab doesn't slow him from his progress in getting to the office), but most of all smart: the last of these we learn when Smith's character is handed a Rubik's Cube and quickly solves it. Which...you know, solving a Rubik's Cube isn't easy, but the thing is a children's toy; leaving it such that each side is the same colour isn't like hacking into a Cray supercomputer. But you guys, that's just the trailer! The movie itself is peppered with little moments, though not included in the preview, in which Smith's character effortlessly demonstrates his brilliance:

Skips rope -- double dutch

Purchases dairy products with expiry date furthest in the future

Invited to guess a woman's weight, he declines

Doubles down on eleven

Pats head while rubbing stomach
