 'Seven Pounds' Preview
The trailers and description of the movie give me no insight whatsoever.
Should I care... or go into it on Wednesday with no expectations?

 Re: What the hell is Seven Pounds about?!?
The last Will Smith film I liked was in 1998. So why should I even bother with Seven Pounds.

 Re: What the hell is Seven Pounds about?!?
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.

 Re: 'Seven Pounds' Preview
I'd agree with that.
But it's out of context so...

 Re: 'Seven Pounds' Preview
So in context, it's not totally fucking ridiculous and hilarious?

trixster wrote: 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.

 Re: 'Seven Pounds' Preview
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.

 Re: 'Seven Pounds' Preview
 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.
