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

    Now, with Seven Pounds, the transformation of Will Smith is complete: Gone is any trace of love-me impishness, replaced by one of the sourest pusses Hollywood has seen since Joaquin Phoenix got his Screen Actors Guild card.

    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

    At the end of the movie I was glad that I spent my time watching it.Good performance by Will Smith.It could use some better editing,some scenes were too long without reason.It managed to bring tears to my eyes and that is a huge factor that it got an 8 from me.I strongly suggest it to those who have not watched it yet.… Expand

    Good acting, a good story - how can anyone be disappointed with a movie where the human spirit is celebrated - i like it!

    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
