Review: Seven Pounds
Rating: ***
Nonna's Rating: $$$
Rotten Tomatoes: 29%
I liked this film a lot better than 71% of the critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Generally, the naysayers thought the film was plodding, predictable, and sentimental. Some of them praised Will Smith's performance; others panned it. One reviewer criticized Smith and Rosario Dawson's respective appearances, commenting they certainly didn't look terribly attractive. Well, no, they didn't. Rosario's character was dying and Smith's character was living an extremely stressful life. The plot is somewhat predictable; it's mysterious at first, but it doesn't take long to figure out where it's going. This doesn't detract from the film, however. Will Smith's performance is one of his best.
