The trailers and description of the movie give me no insight whatsoever.

Should I care... or go into it on Wednesday with no expectations?

Will Smith may have the entire world fooled but not me. No way sir.

Melissa came home yesterday with a pass to see Seven Pounds at 7 on Wednesday at the local AMC.

I slapped the shit out of her. Lesson learned.

The last Will Smith film I liked was in 1998. So why should I even bother with Seven Pounds.

Because I said so. And because it's a free movie!

It sounds like with some tweaking, the premise would have made a great comedy.

B.

It's really two movies. The first half is completely different from the second.

There's a full plot summary up on Wikipedia now.

Apparently he kills himself by jellyfish.

I'd agree with that.

But it's out of context so...

Author:  trixster [ Thu Dec 18, 2008 1:26 am ]
Post subject:  Re: 'Seven Pounds' Preview

So in context, it's not totally fucking ridiculous and hilarious?

Not if you see the movie.

The first half, if you can pay attention to it because it's horribly edited, has many minute details that are brought up in a VERY well executed second half.

And it's pretty much a tear jerker, if you're into that kinda stuff.

Ya the director of this movie directed Pursuit of happiness which is a tear jerker as well.

Queen Latifah faced the same issue.

Se7en Pounds was the first advance screening in a very long time I passed on. Just couldn't do it. Even funnier that the trite POS is online now.

:funny: Too bad Smith wasn't a girl. Getting seven pound of yourself removed is easy then. Hell, even I've done it.

So, I was so sure the title to this thing was some reference to Merchant of Venice or something. I had no idea what the actual movie was about, it didn't call my name.
