Austin Chronicle
Now, with Seven Pounds, the transformation of Will Smith is complete: Gone is any trace of love-me impishness, replaced by one of the sourest pusses Hollywood has seen since Joaquin Phoenix got his Screen Actors Guild card. - 75
Charlotte Observer
Gripping but gap-filled Seven Pounds will have half your brain asking "How could this be?" and the other half saying, "Shut up and go along for the ride!" Listen to the latter voice. - 75
Chicago Sun-Times
Some people will find it emotionally manipulative. Some people like to be emotionally manipulated. I do, when it's done well. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
The film's Italian director does achieve in his second American outing a pleasing blend of Hollywood professional sheen and European sensitivity to character details and nuances. - 60
Washington Post
The movie is pretty unabashed about the all-but-corny sentiment: Each of us has something to give. - 50
Philadelphia Inquirer
Seven Pounds is one part jigsaw puzzle, one part "The Giving Tree" and both parts marinated in melancholy. - 38
Chicago Tribune
Seven Pounds has a heart as big as all outdoors. Unfortunately it's made out of high-fructose bull. - 25
Entertainment Weekly
An unintentionally ludicrous drama of repentance.
