Seven Pounds

I'd give this one a 2/5. Will Smith is a suicidal man whose wife has just died. He decides that he is going to find people who are worthy of receiving his organs when he kills himself. In the process he falls in love with the woman he is giving his heart. And in order for her to live, he has to die. Anyway, heartache ensues. For being such a depressing storyline, this movie was not very tear-jerking at all. I didn't tear up once, which is saying a lot because I'm a crybaby. (I teared up during Adam Sandler's "Click" for crying out loud, haha).

The acting was well done and it is an interesting storyline. It was a dull movie, however. It dragged and was a little over 2 hours long.

SPOILER AHEAD.
I do have to say that the way he committed suicide was very original and neat. I had never seen or heard of anyone using a jellyfish to kill themselves, but kudos to whoever wrote that!
