I enjoyed this movie. Could it have been better yes. But its worth the point in trade.

Not your typical Will Smith movie, for sure. I did enjoy this movie, but the subject matter was a bit depressing. I don't think I will watch it again.

A real tearjerker. Will Smith shows he is really an actor in this one. Save it for a night when you need a good cry!

As long as I live, I will probably never forget this movie. It was the most confusing (initially), touching, horrifying movie I think I've ever seen. Although it took me a bit of time to get into it, once I did I was completely hooked - to the point where I was no longer sitting down and watching it, but rather standing in front of the television sobbing because I got what he was up to. Count on mixed emotions with this one... you'll be thinking about it for days. You won't, however, regret watching it. I certainly don't.

I can't get over how great this movie is. Some parts were predictable but that didn't diminish from the film at all. It is a feel good film but very different from most others. The ending is one of the greatest I have ever seen. It is sad and uplifting at the same time.

"Seven Pounds was a film I thought would never peak my interest, boy was I dead wrong! Seven Pounds is an emotional, moving, and thought-provoking film about how one man's personal hell, slowly becomes another person's newfound bliss. Will Smith is a absolutely amazing in this film, a lot of people tend to favor his comedic and action films, but Smith's true talent lies when he quitely suffering, he tells a story with his eyes. Woody Harrelson and Rosario Dawson also exceeded my expectations, very delicate and understated performances. This film has a lot of twists and turns, more of a phsychological drama than anything else. I highly recommend this "jellyfish" of a movie, enjoy!"
