don't do yourself an injustice and follow the hollywood.com 3.5 star review, these guys don't review for the consumer their reviews are based on horrible taste and not knowing a good movie when they see it, just like the last review posted it wraps everything up at the end, this movie is a tear jerker for real!! I HAD TO FIGHT IT BACK A FEW TIMES! i have never written a review in my life and i felt this was justly deserved because this movie makes you think about yourself and how you go about in your life without really getting to know people, GO SEE IT! im going again tomorrow
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Wonderful acting by the lead actors and a perfect present for the holiday spirit. The Director would not be able to match-up with the way "the pursuit of happiness" was presented, but this film is still captivating.
Will Smith is wonderful and poignant as ever as Ben Thomas. The supporting cast is equally good and keep the story moving.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I loved this movie. Both Will and Rosario put forth awesome performances. I am glad no one told me about the movie in advance because it added to the suspense. At the heart, this is a love story but it is unlike anything you've ever seen. I felt his pain throughout this film. I am so proud of Will Smith! I truly hope he and Rosario get Oscar nods for this performance.

I read a review before I saw this movie this afternoon that rated it 2 1/2 stars. Don't believe everything the critics say. This movie was outstanding. This was one of the best heart warming as well as heart wrenching movies I have ever saw. The theatrical style is a flashforward and a flashback narative with the movie starting from the end, forward with flashbacks that explain the development of the character. Obviously the critic that rated this movie was a rookie that did not understand or couldn't follow this theatrical style. It was extremely well acted. I think it was Will Smith's best dramatic performance. The entire audience left the theatre in tears. This is definitely a must see!!!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Seven Pounds is a truly beautiful story. Although it ends in a state of affairs that will leave you holding back tears - or at least trying to - it is not a sad story. The previews didn't really give us a clue as to what it the movie is TRULY about, and the movie doesn't either - until the final 25 minutes. This one is all about perception; its meaning will lie in the eyes of the beholder. You'll be crying both tears of heartbreak, as well as tears of happiness, simultaneously... The Direction is incredible, and Will Smith is PHENOMENAL. In one word: Powerful.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

An excellent Film. Will Smith is awesome! From the start to the end you’re on the edge of your seat wanting to know what's next, what's next! It keeps you guessing, from the start. It's a very emotional film & puts you in touch with all your feelings, so much so, there was a moment in the middle of the film I realized I was in a theater and it was totally silent & everyone was waiting in anticipation–we were all taking the same breathes! The film is a Screenwriter's dream. It's the type of script every screenwriter knows, in their heart, they've written, now the actors that are bringing it to life are totally on point -- the Screenwriter is waiting for what happens next. This is definitely a "MUST SEE" & then "SEE AGAIN" film.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Get your tissues ready. The movie was very suspenseful and emotional. When the movie started I was a bit lost and confused because I didn't know what kind of character Will would be playing. Overall I enjoyed the movie, ony thing that I didn't like was the ending. The movie left you wondering and asking alot of questions.

I think that the director try too hard to get people emotional, and the audience did not really care that much for the characters cause they vaguely now them. there is a crying in the movie every 5 minutes in stead of building it and then geting emotional, they try too hard.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

This had to be one of the worst films of the year or of the past two years. The attempt to make it an intellectually-charged plot ended up short. The movie lacked the fundamentals (a plot, a climax, and an ending that left you satisfied). Even the presence of Will Smith did not save the film - everything seemed out of place and underdeveloped! In the theatre, people were falling asleep around me and I stayed up with the hopes that it would get better - unfortunately, that never happened. I would never see this movie again! It was a true waste of money!
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I'm a big Will Smith fan, and I enjoyed his performance in the film. But the first hour dragged for me. It is filled with obscure references to earlier events in the form of flashbacks that do little to build suspense or interest. I was frustrated and bored by the midway point. There were some characters I might have liked better if the film had developed them more. Instead, I ended up not caring much about most of them by the end.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie was exceptionally well done but with a very sobering theme. The story is not revealed early in the process and unfolds with hints rather than narrative. The dramatic conclusion leaves the viewer with disturbing questions but affected by the movie.
It is worthwhile but should be restricted to those who are prepared for the mature theme.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Seven pounds is the type of movie that will have you wondering throughout the movie what is going on but you will enjoy Will Smith's role because it is different then any other role he's played. Rosario Dawson plays a very good second and once you figure it all out you will feel deeply profound and will want to see it again. I throughly enjoyed the movie.

Very good movie. It's not one of those totally unforgetable films that will make movie history, but it is a unique story that hasn't been told before, and has a good message- sort of. I figured out what he was planning to do within about fifteen minutes, but it didn't spoil the story for me. Will Smith is AMAZING in his role, with worlds of expressions in his facial quivver, and a plethora of emotions abailable to him in his craft of storytelling.. Smith definitely has star power and brings beleivablility to the story. Woody Harrelson has only a small role, but he's great in this film. He's gained so much weight, though, that he's hardly recognizable.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
