I can't tell if you're serious, but that's wrong.

The title IMHO refers to the notion of giving "a pound of flesh" for compensation for one's sins or misdeeds. He killed 7 people, so he gives 7 pounds.

it's a buddy flick about a street wise black cop and a white princeton grad working a beat to prove to his career officer father that he's 'got what it takes'......UHT OH! The black man is playing rap!! The white guy has NEVER heard this entire genre of music before!!! Z-Z-Z-ZAAAANY!!!

Close, he changes the lives of seven people that are deserving of it. One of the ways is what you stated, but there were others...

So what was the premise? Did he really give away his organs?

[spoilers]


yes. eyes, heart, and he gives his penis to a midget porn star.




[/spoilers]

seven pounds? that's a lot of meat for a midget.

"Seven Pounds" refers to seven astronauts that were killed when the shuttle came back and exploded in the atmosphere. Smith's character was a NASA engineer who blames himself. He helps out 7 random people the best way he can, including donating organs to the people that need them. The film ends with him killing himself.

Fuck you.

***SPOILER******



he gave his organs to people, and gave one woman his house.

he donated his eyes, liver, kidney, lungs, heart, and bone marrow.

[FleshLight]

He crashed into a bus and ejected his fiance from his car while checking his blackberry. He killed 6 people on the bus + his fiance, making it 7. To see who is worthy of his donations, he steals his bro's IRS credentials to do character investigations.

The ending caught me off guard a little bit. I actually shed a tear in the bath tub scene i think. lol.

****SPOILER ALERT****

here's what really happened:

Will's character feels sad and tries to help out a lesbian couple who, for whatever reason, can't get pregnant. He decides to try a radical experiment and has the embryo implanted in himself. After several bland attempts to imitate the movie Junior, Will's character calls it a day and has the baby. It weighs 7 pounds. The lesbian couple then snorgle the baby while engaging in some HLA.
