On another note, you may also want to consider Frost vs Nixon. Very good movie even if you dunno jack about American political history. If you liked the Queen, you'd like this one.
couldnt understand how the title related to the movie. when i saw the trailer, i thought maybe they made a movie over some guy that lost 7 pounds cuz well, will smith looked thin for this movie... haha

Great insight. I heard Frost Nixon is a very a good movie. Very educational for guys like our age who has no idea who Nixon is and what the whole scandal is all about. I'm going to see it for sure.
I was forced to watch 'the Queen' on the plane and yeah, with no expectations at all, i found the acting being top notch. Same for 7 pounds, with no expectations, i found it wonderfully well done.

Rosario DAwson was quite surprising
the joy in this film is the acting, the story is so very obvious that there's no point in watching it for that
I was never a fan of Rosario in MIB 2 and i did not like her in this movie cause she wasn't the typical pretty girl. then again, the female lead needed a girl that wasn't uber pretty so her ugliness grew on me and i enjoyed her on screen.

I went in with no expectation so I really enjoyed it. Will Smith has the 'i got something stuck in my ass look' and the puzzling fact of story kept me watching more. Ending was sort of predictable but you just wanted to watch it till the end. The last scene with the hug and tears coming down was....touching.
Spoiler!
how u can die from jelly fish in a tub is really beyond me..
i'm in the philippines right now and i picked up the movie cu'z it was cheap and expecting it to be shit quality but then i watched it and it was dvd quality and 5.1 lol
i thought it was a pretty good movie i don't think any other actor could've carried it as good as will smith did.
The Will Smith flick takes its meaning from an old saying from Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice, 1596, "The pound of flesh which I demand of him Is deerely bought, 'tis mine, and I will haue it.” "Pound of flesh" refers to an *onerous* debt or penalty, one that is either unable to be paid (but demanded), or one that is far in excess of the amount owed, or one in which the payment is set to adamantly exacting standards. Something that is owed that is ruthlessly required to be paid back.
In this movie, He killed seven people, and to repay his immense debt he had to give “a pound of flesh” as repayment of the debt. Hence seven pounds of flesh. Will Smith’s character does 7 life-changing favors for 7 people. Seven people. Seven favors. “Seven Pounds” of flesh.
This film is *not* so much about kindness and giving, but about loss and redemption. redemption can come from ‘paying debts.’

That's probably the best explanation. It's what I thought of first after I understood what was going on.

As for the jellyfish question, there are certain species of box jellyfish that kill people long before they can get any help. This is why you don't want to be swimming if you've been stung by a jellyfish - serious stings may cause anaphylaxis and you could drown.
