Like Sammi Cheng, Will Smith is one of the most bankable stars in his respective turf of Hollywood. But the film he's chosen to work on this time is simply not worthy of his talents.
Seven Pounds is a dumb and mushy melodrama about a man who has chosen to devote his time to helping seven strangers, including a cardiac patient (Rosario Dawson), a blind telemarketer (Woody Harrelson) and an abused mother (Elpidia Carrilo). Why is he helping them? Because he wants to make up for the mistake he made years ago - a mistake that involves a handphone. Yes, a handphone. Bleaaarrrhh
Seven Pounds is directed by Gabriele Muccino, who also directed Will in his previous drama The Pursuit of Happyness. That garnered Will a Best Actor Oscar nomination, which probably explains why Will wanted to work with Gabriele again. Unfortunately, the script handed to them this time has none of the dramatic pull of Happyness. Instead, it is just sappy and plain silly.
Better luck next time, guys.
