Why We Rated This Appropriate for Ages 14 and UP
What to watch out for
- Consumerism:
Featured brands include Ford, Mercury Records, Kiehl's skincare products, and Travel Inn motel.
- Language:
On the milder side for a PG-13 film, but still a couple of uses of "s--t," "hell," "ass," "goddamn," etc.
- Sex:
A couple kisses/embraces, and another couple makes love -- thier bare backs and shoulders are visible.
- Violence:
Disturbing glimpses of a fatal, multi-car accident are shown. A battered woman has a black eye. One character almost dies, and another character does die in a bizarre way. Ben needs a cast after smashing up his house.
- Messages:
Not an issue.
- Drugs:
Ben and Emily drink wine at dinner.
What Parents Need to Know
About Seven Pounds
Parents need to know that Will Smith + holidays usually equals blockbuster. But this drama's mysterious title and trailer may turn off younger fans who'd rather see a comedy or fantasy. And viewers in the mood for a feel-good story should look elsewhere: The movie tackles heavy themes like what it means to live a meaningful life, embracing death in the face of a terminal illness, and using grief as a motivation to act selflessly. The language and consumerism are mild, the violence is limited to (admittedly disturbing) scenes of two fatal incidents, and the sexuality is one love scene featuring a bare shoulders and backs. All of that said, the central message -- giving of yourself no matter what the cost -- may be too mature for young viewers to handle.
Families Can Talk About
Families can talk about the film's emphasis on altruism. What messages does it send about generosity? Is it a positive message? Was Ben saintly or insane -- or is it a little of both? Families can also discuss how the movie develops as a suspenseful drama. How specifically was it suspenseful? Was the end predictable, or did it succeed in being a "big reveal"? How does Smith's character here compare with others he's played? Do you prefer him in dramas or comedies/action-adventures? Why?
