Here's an excerpt from a review of Seven Pounds Ending that Moira McDonald wrote in the Seattle Times.
A convoluted tearjerker complete with murky camerawork and even murkier emotions, "Seven Pounds" is the tale of a man seeking redemption and a dangerously ill woman who grows ever more beautiful as her condition worsens. (This is a long cinematic tradition, popularly known as the "Love Story" syndrome.) Ben (Will Smith) is a mysteriously slick IRS agent who takes an unusually personal interest in his clients; Emily (Rosario Dawson) is a cardiac patient who's been having a little trouble paying her taxes. They meet. They fall in love. Choirs sing.

In general, I would agree with Moira's review. Will Smith is not my favorite actor. There would have been many actors who could have done much better with this roll.
