Will Smith shakes off ‘7 Pounds’ haters
When movies fall at the box office superstars catch the blame.
Fans often assume that celebrities are immune or ignore blog and gossip chatter, but apparently Will Smith is not one of those celebrities.
Sources claim Smith has been listening closely to all the negative chatter around his new movie “7 Pounds”. “Will takes it personal when people criticize his effort because he puts so much into it.”
Several producers and movie critics have launched a full assault on Smith claiming he was over paid and didn’t deliver on the promise of a blockbuster movie. Based on fan polling, the review are extreme both ways. Said one critic, “some people feel like the movie was a life changing event while others were bored to sleep”.
The insider says that Smith has made it his # 1 priority to make sure the movie makes $100 million world wide so he can hush his critics. “In Hollywood, it’s a blockbuster if it makes a $100 (million)…he basically guaranteed me that when its all said and done, it will be a block buster”.
As of January 12, 2009, “7 Pounds” has made just over $83 million world-wide. Pictured above is Smith in Madrid, Spain as part of a 20 country promotional tour.

On April 6, 2009 at 1:26 amI was very pleasantly rewarded with this movie.It brought up a lot of modern issues that are slipping into our sub- conconscies for a short decade but cresending now.
Tha concepts we orinGally rough in how they caam e togetheer.
A man who’ acheived all his dreams – Inlove with a beautiful wifr, he runs a companyhe planned since he not live with himself, with his knowlege of his part inthe negligentwas12.could
Then asplit second tragedy whirls into being a witness to the deaths of 7 innocent peopls… at his hand. We soon see thr incongruence of his nice life style and beig aaaan IRS investigator(turns out he stole his brothers identiyty to do his plan). Maticulously plotted, he finds a town where he could work out his plan. You see, he had given one of his lungs to his little broTher.AND WitH nothing left in his heart to get him re-Engaged in life, HE FOUND A WAY, FOR HIM ANYWAY, TO GIVE SOME RESTORATION. hE WANTD TO DIE – BUT FOR A GGOD REASON.sO hIS IDEA WAS TO KEEEP PEOPLE WITH A LIFE PREPARRING FOR DEATH THE RIGHT TO LIVE. hE CHOSE A WOMAN TO GIVE PART OF HIS LIVER TO , ANOTHER FOR A KIDNEYhE DIDN’T WANT TO FALL IN LOVE, BUT THE WOMAN HE’D PLANNED TO GIVE HIS HEART TO WAS A SWEET SOUL, WITH A HEART THAT WAS TAKING HER AS SOON AS ONE MONTH. wHEN HE REALIZED IT WAS SO SOON, HE PLANNED HIS DEATH. hE HAD A HELPER THAT NEW HOW TO HELP KILL HIM, WHILSE CAUSING THE LEAST AMOUT OF POISON/HARM TO HIS ORGANS.
wHEN THE AUDIENCE REALIZES THIS IS WHAT HE’S GOING TO DO, WELL – i FOR ONE FELT A DEP HEA MY CHEST AN i BEGAN TO CRY… AT WHAT A GVINES IN OOD SOUL HEREALLY IS.
iN THE END HE DONNATES ASET OF EYES HIS OTHER KIDNEY, AND TO THE WOMAN HE BECOMES ATRACTED TO, HE GIVES HER HIS HEART
