    A movie that plays better if you know nothing about it going in.

    The film's Italian director does achieve in his second American outing a pleasing blend of Hollywood professional sheen and European sensitivity to character details and nuances.

    Seven Pounds has a heart as big as all outdoors. Unfortunately it's made out of high-fructose bull.

    well i would like to have as much of inteligence as you guys have. all of those who said it was way too predictable. Will Smith was awesome in this movie as well as Woody Harrelson and Rosario is adorable! It was certainly better than the Changeling and almost as good as the Green Mile. There are not many movies i am willing to see more times but i have seen this one three times already!… Expand

    Way way way too long, some major editing would have prevented the stretches of boredom. Too slow moving. It's very sincere, but it also fails to convince. The acting is stiff and lacking enthusiasm. Good score.… Expand

    I went into this movie wanting it to be amazing, but unfortunately it was the complete opposite. Will Smith and Rosario Dawson gave wonderful performances, but the movie took way too long for anything to happen. Seven Pounds was a "2 hour don't text and drive commercial".… Expand
