    Seven Pounds

    Will Smith was incredible but not in his usual funny way. I didn't like the fact they didn't explain why it was called 7 Pounds. I found out later it had something to do with Shakespeare and when you do something so tragic the only way you can pay for it was by 7 pounds of flesh.

    Oscar Winning Performance1111

    WIll Smith sends you on a roller coaster then captures your heart and then rips it apart. The movie developed in a strange way and was really slow in the beginning. You don't know where the story line is headed nor can you distinguish which scenes are in proper sequential order. However, 30 to 40 minutes into the movie you will get a "ding" in your head and the movie becomes strangely an emotional adventure. By the end I couldn't leave I had cried so much. I am glad I didn't wait to Saturday to take my 13 year old - this is definitiely an adult movie because of the complex emotional scenes (not sex, language or violence strangely). As you watch Will Smith's face - the emotions , the moods you love him -- he is one of the best actors today and his work is memorable to classic. GIve him an oscar for this one

    Great Movie - but watch out for reviews below that give away the plot

    This is a great movie -- if, that is, you don't read one of the reviews below, by user Whammo, that gives away the plot. His or her review greatly diminished my enjoyment of the movie by revealing the central plot. The whole story was obvious to me about 15 minutes into the movie. Otherwise, ti would have had a great surprise ending.
