I don't believe this movie was given enough credit and I do believe it deserves more than the 2.81(+) stars it received. It is not only inspirational but bittersweet. Will Smith did an incredible job (like always).

Why is it seven pounds? After viewing the film, you think why people are intertwined in some arcane way. You will also think about your mortality, reasons for things and the relationships we have. There were a few dragging scenes, still the premise was enticing, score was suited and cinematography was decent. Will Smith's performance was solid and believable. If only better character development was used as to not confuse the viewers. The twist in the end is tragic yet fitting, but it made actual sense why the title stuck. The DVD cover also gives a hint with regards to the tragically beautiful picture.

A good movie that packs and emotional punch. Will Smith is pretty much made for his role and the supporting cast also holds up well. The story keeps your attention, even when it jumps around. All in all, worth it to watch.

This movie underwhelmed me. It was an alright concept I guess, but I couldn't relate the the motivations of the characters at all. In part, this is due to the disjointed lens the movie is told through. So, in the end I didn't really like or dislike this movie . . . I was bored, which is almost worse. Will Smith is very interesting to watch as always (and not just because he's cute because of the acting).

I was pleasantly surprised at how good this movie really is. It is decently original. Will Smith's performance is his best so far. I liked the twists and really enjoyed the musical score. This almost made it into my top 10 for 2009.

Although I didn't cry, the movie was excellent and made my heart warm. It can be a bit slow in the beggining as Will Smith's character and the story develops, but you will instanly feel a connection with him and want to know his story. The chemistry between Will and Rosario Dawson is undeniable and Woody Harrellson put a smile on my face each and every time he was on screen. This movie has heart. Do yourself a favor and see it.

If you are patient then I think that you will really enjoy this film just as much as I did. Will Smith keeps you intrigued throughout the entire movie. With always asking yourself: What is going on? Woody Harrelson and Rosario Dawson give very solid performances. This is a great story and a great movie.
