Trailer - Will Smith in 'Seven Pounds'

DateTuesday, October 14, 2008 at 12:07AM
We can only hope that the new Will Smith collaboration with director Gabriele Muccino is half as good as their previous film, The Pursuit of Happyness. I've seen it probably five or six times over the past two years, and it gets better every time I watch it.

That has more to do with Smith than anything else; it's easily his best performance but it's so natural for him that it doesn't look like he's working hard at all. If you want evidence of an actor working too hard, check out Tom Cruise in The Last Samurai or Julianne Moore in Freedomland.

The new Smith-Muccino film is Seven Pounds, which co-stars Rosario Dawson, and like Happyness, it seems well-oiled for awards season. Smith plays an IRS agent who tries to make up for the mistakes of his past by helping seven strangers in their times of need.

Seven Pounds will be released on December 19th.
