Seven Pounds of Kindness


As usual, Will Smith is in his usual self in the movie Seven Pounds. This time sacrificing his body parts that others may live and have wholesome lives.

After losing his wife in a car crash which he blamed himself, he gave half of his lungs to his brother, eyes to a blind pianist, his heart-literary to his girlfriend and his house to a Hispanic battered wife and her two children.

The movie borders on self-pity and the need to be useful even after death so that parts of a person continues to live.

A morbid premise and so at times, it is quite difficult to watch.

Otherwise, watching the beautiful Rosario Dawson in her many moods, is surely delighftul.
