Pursuit of Happyness

What is the DNA of a good story? Something that is compelling, it could (or did happen), an overcoming of a great difficulty.

I have just watched "the Pursuit of Happyness." This is a good movie as far as it goes. I mean the movie is really good. There are just a few gaps in logic.

For example: why did he not get food stamps. With a child he could get them.
Did he not have any friends? I mean for real. I know of four or five people's house where I could crash at.

Why did he sell plasma only once? I mean if you really need money.

Also if you read the wikipedia article on the movie (here) or the actual article on Chris Gardner. You find well . . . not as good as the movie. So the movie is not really that great.
