The primary goal of Seven Pounds is to make viewers weep‚ and it pursues that aim with a doggedness that is almost commendable. The film manipulates shamelessly and‚ despite defying logic with its contrivances and unconvincing character portrayals‚ will succeed in getting many audience members to the point where tears are inevitable.

Gerron Herring English 1020 Dr. Oneal Movie Review: Seven Pounds “God created the earth in seven days and I shattered mine in seven sec”. This quote from the very beginning of the movie seven pounds was the first and last referral to Christianity.

This is my first time hearing about the condition “metabolic syndrome”. I did not know that people can be so
