A big difference seems to be that a lot of people who hated it thought the movie was presenting Will Smith as noble whereas I thought it was presenting derangement taken to logical excess. Plus I thought Rosario Dawson was very good in it.

I finally watched Seven Pounds last night! After searching here, I see that Alex and I were the only ones who enjoyed it. I concur with your assessment that it was derangement taken to the logical excess. Thank you Alex for always helping me translate what my brain is thinking. That must be why I always love your movie critiques!

I thought it was funny,touching, sad,intriguing and a well put together emotional roller coaster ride.

I already erased it from my que because i don't think Gary would like it or that the kid would understand it but I thoroughly enjoyed the ride.
