So i just saw Seven Pounds. It was a pretty good movie (at least in my opinion) so i figured I'd let everyone know what the movie was about in case they wanted to see it....I highly recomend this movie as Will Smith gave the performance of a lifetime.
Its a romantic comedy so that means theres absolutley no time travel in the movie what so ever. The whole thing is basically about how will smith needs to lose 7 pounds to fit into his mall Santa costume. Wich is funny and ironic because why would u need to lose weight to be a mall Santa.
He than meets rosario Dawson who changes his life and turns him from the broken man he is into the owner of the mall through some kind of convoluted xmas themed scheme. All this comes to an end tragically when they find out that the Oddball but still humble and wise security guard played by woody harrilson who bought the two of them together reveals that hes dying of aids.
But it ends on a high note when Will Smith saves the planet from aliens. Oh and Rosario Dawson has Hep C. Its a plot device to help Will Smiths character see the error of his ways. This dying woman spends all her time volunteering at the mall orphange and by comparison he stays at home watching old buddy cop movies and eating bon bons.
He becomes so distraught by this that he swares to cure hep c the next 3 hours of the movie would be like Lorenzo's oil, hilarity ensues
Discuss.

Say what you will... it's still ten times more plausible than Benjamin Button.

What were the catchphrases? There can't be a Will Smith movie without catchphrases.
