seven pounds, i give it 6 out 10.
it was an alright entertainer. nothing special about it, to deserve more than a 6, it needs to be close to reality.. seven pounds.. ya ok, a man impersonating an IRS agent, just happens to match a blood type... blah blah.. dunno why people get emotional over this over hyped circus.

The movie was pretty dark. It shows how in a split second your life can change. You can do everything in life right go to MIT, be sucessful and happy but in a second God can take that away from you.
I don't think the purpose of the movie was to entertain but to leave you thinking a bit about guilt, mortality, living life for others and actually following the law about texting and driving.

so all u needed was a movie to remind you of all that?
I hope my sister does not read this, I loved seven pounds, despite how antsy I was throughout the movie. I need to re-watch it, Rosario Dawson is such a good actress.
PS, I freaking hate jellyfish now. And I really hope they don't make a bolly version of this movie.
What a waste of my time watching this movie… I had such high expectations, and by the end of it all, I felt hugely disrespected. It felt as if the movie maker was trying to force-feed emotions to me through their narrative. The narrative itself being incoherent at best. Having a violin laced melodramatic score at the end of the movie doesn’t make the audience “feel” sad about the main character’s quest to find redemption.
I didn’t care much for Ben’s character… rather, I found him to be pretentious and conceited in his attempt to select people who’re worthy of his organs. I mean – wtf! – many of us are donors by choice but we don’t get to/shouldn’t choose who we help.* "It is within my power to drastically change your circumstances but I don't want to give what you don't deserve..." - *argh!!! that's sort of a slap in the face of every donor. Who are we to decide who deserves what.
It’s a thoroughly unsatisfying movie. No wonder it’s gotten bad reviews from critics, an by no means is it in the same league as Pursuit of Happiness which was an earnestly genuine movie taking the audience through an emotional journey.
