I thought it was amazing! Yes, into the movie you begin to put the pieces together, but that is the way it's intended. There's still several surprises as you go through the movie up until the very end. I thought it was one of the most moving movies I've seen in a long time. Highly recommend it!!

I love Will Smith and he did great in this movie like he always does. It was a good, solid movie, but it was a real downer. I wish we had seen a comedy instead. I didn't know it would be so sad, def a movie I would have rather rented.

Probably the best Will Smith acting job to date- yes better than Pursuit of Happyness. He's finally shedding some of that Fresh Prince of Bel Air look. I notice that "the box office king" only did $16 million the first week- I'm sure will knew it wasn't going to make much and chose acting over just making money.

The movie was a sleeper (literally).I want my money back. I actually thought it was sort of boring and dragged out. Character development was poor besides Will and Rosario Dawson.They emphasized his relationship with Rosario to much, and it took away from the other characters. It basically became just another love story. Woody Harrilson was very good in it, but he only got about a total of five minutes in the film. You could have added up the total number of minutes between Will and every character besides Rosario and it would not have added to over ten minutes. Movie felt long, dragged out, boring. I put it together before the end and I wasn't that impressed. My girlfriend actually fell asleep twice during it. I think she was tired with all of the running around with the holidays and all but, she still fell asleep twice. She kept asking what the movie was about, and I kept telling her she didn't miss much.

I just watched it and I loved it! I figured out the organ donor part pretty early on in the movie but I still cried at the end. I hated the flashbacks though - they reminded too much of the flashbacks in I Am Legend. I probably won't ever watch it again but it was worth $6.50

Organ donor thing? tell me more. I don't intend on seeing the movie, so don't worry about spoiling it? how did it work? was he going to promise organs to people or what? what does the seven pounds refer to? weight? tell me, tell me!

btw... genius (slickrick). A sleeper... when describing a movie, is a good thing. It is a movie that is not heavily promoted but usually by word of mouth ends up with big #'s at the box office. So if your going to trash a movie at least show some knowledge of the review language, people will take your opinion more seriously.

Isn't that why he put "literally" next to sleeper- to let people know he slept through the movie.

Slickrick, I wanna know how was Woody Harrilson role good, but he said less than 50 words in the movie?
