Seven Pounds (2008) *1/2

Seven Pounds is about a man (Will Smith) who goes around helping various people with various needs for some unknown reason. Eventually he meets Emily (Rosario Dawson) who has a degenerative heart condition. One thing leads to another and the two fall in love, leading to the possibility that their budding relationship could jeopardize everything he is doing for people.

Will Smith and Rosario Dawson are fine in their respective roles. The problem is that's about it. The script is predictable as hell. You see what's going to happen, how it's going to happen and the shirt everyone's going to wear. Seven Pounds is so predictable it's ridiculous. The film is filled with plot holes and is basically a film that tries to be a tear jerker but fails at telling a believable story.

Pretty much this film banks on the fact that Will Smith stars in it. A drama, released at Christmas that banks on this fact, never mind that the script sucks. It'll make money just because of the name on the poster, not the contents of the product.
