At first, I didn't understand why this was called Seven Lbs. It didn't seem to conform to any pattern of 7 objects in the movie, so for the longest time, I thought this was The Pursuit of Happyness 2 or some shit. Will Smith was going back and fourth to different hospitals and hitting on women with medical illnesses. What? Was he a salesman again? As he starts having sex with one of these needy women, my attention to the movie faltered.
Will Smith appeared to be going around looking for "good people". Once he found them, he would bequeath them one of his possessions. His motivation for doing this was a gnawing feeling of remorse, which was slowly driving him insane. Fortunately, everything gets explained at the end of the movie, bringing the purpose of all this suspicious shit into clarity. This is an end of life story. Basically, it asks you, "What would you do with your life if you know when you're going to die?" and shows you what this guy did.

50% is being generous.
Lack of a coherent plot, lack of compelling protagonist, lack of transition, lack of compelling antagonist, the list goes on.
Failure on all levels.
