This is a very touching story and you will need some tissues.
It is about a young man who gets engaged to is girlfriend and she is killed in a car accident, (this is the opening scene) but unfortunately he causes the accident and kills 7 other people too.
He can't forget this and helps other people in need anyway he can, especially the really ill ones.
He falls in love with one of the people he is trying to help.
There are three people he wants to help one are a young lady with two children who is in a violent relationship and is in a bad way. One is blind and one is in need of a heart transplant.
(The average heart is 7lb in weight hence the title)
Unfortunately, I can't tell you much more otherwise you will no what happens, and you won't need to watch it.
He needs to help these people to make up for the seven people that have been lost; this is the only way he can come to terms with the lost of his loss.
Will Smith is the main actor in this as usual takes a fantastic part and he makes the film what it is.
It is a very sad story but you can see why he does what he does at the end it all comes together.
The start of the film is quite slow and not a lot happens because you are trying to work out why he is doing what he is doing, but you need to give it chance it is good.
