Touching movie so far, will post a more extensive review once it's over.

I saw it in the theatre, it was OK, however they concentrate too much on the woman (played beautifully by R. Dawson), I would've like to see more the other 6!!!

Are you saying it is a chick flick?

It was one of my favorite movies from last year.

It's an emotional drama/suspense movie.

It's good to see that nobody has spilled the plot yet. Don't check out the reviews until after you have seen it.

It's not an action movie. There's nothing supernatural about it.

It becomes clear after 20 or 30 minutes why Smith's character is doing what he is doing. I think we are supposed to figure it out so that we can see the reasons for his actions throughout the movie.

I'll definitely grab it when the price drops a bit, but it's fresh in my mind and I am in no hurry.

vega2K · 04-01-2009, 04:14 PM

Boy was I surprised. I thought it was great. I had absolutely no idea what it was about, which made it so much better for me. This is one of those movies you tell yourself at the end "Am I glad I saw this!"

I highly recommend this one. Although I only buy movies I absolutely will re-watch a hundred times, I say buy it if you are on the fence and like drama/suspense type movies.

I loved this movie. I'm very surprised this website gave it such a low score.

MaCruz · 04-01-2009, 06:11 PM

I just blind picked this movie during my lunch @ bestbuy.

Hate to break it to you but it wasn't just this site. It bombed at the box office and only 28% of reviewers gave it positive review, according to rottentomatoes.com.

As the review says, the BD looks and sounds fine, but I don't think most people would want to watch this thing more than once if at all. Some of you like it a lot but I think you're in the minority.

Batman1980 · 04-01-2009, 07:27 PM

I thought it was an excellent movie, even better than Pursuit of Happyness. Very moving and very well-shot. Look forward to this director and Will collaborating again.

hostelmovies · 04-02-2009, 06:38 AM

I just wanted to say that I just finished this movie and do not agree with the reviewer at all with his review of it. The review gave the movie a 2.5. The movie in my opinion was a sold 4. Once in awhile I know we see movies that are just not to our liking or maybe favorite genre or mood at the time of viewing. And this may be the case, I don't know. My favorite movie is Kill Bill and this movie just kinda hit me like the first time I saw "Into the Wild". And I know Kill Bill is a long way from Seven Pounds. Just wanted to put that out there. If you are looking for a strong drama with some romantic elements in it, at least give this a rental.

hey different strokes for different folks

. I thought it was a great movie myself but its his job as a reviewer to offer his opinion, and thats what it is

The movie did not bomb at the box office. Nobody expected it to do 100 million plus as most of Will Smith's movies do. It was def a solid hit.

Now I understand that it's def not for everybody, but IMO a "fair" grading is less than adequate for this title.

just watched and thought it was very good but not great
