The Reel Deal
Seven Pounds(rated PG-13), starring Will Smith and Rosario Dawson
Smith plays 'Ben Thomas,' an IRS agent set out to give a 'gift' to each of seven people. Through a series of flashbacks and life experiences, we come to realize the reason behind his generosity, his sometimes more-than-eccentric methodology, and the ultimate means by which he will accomplish his goals. Dawson is Emily Posa, a potential gift recipient that confirms Ben Thomas' good intentions, as he falls in love with her.
At times riveting, at others heart-wrenching, and with a great supporting cast that makes Smith's and Dawson's performances even more dynamic - and each may well be considered for Oscar nominations. In a Christmas season in which eight potential blockbuster films were released at the same time, make sure that this one is on your 'must-see' list. Seven Pounds is certainly no lightweight!
