I'm not a big fan of revealing a story in chunks via flashback, but I trusted the filmmaker to make it all clear in time. Halfway through the film, it dawned on me that they were playing toward this big tearjerker melodramatic ending. Okay, this may contain spoilers, because it's very difficult to discuss what's utterly wrong with the film otherwise. "No! Surely they wouldn't be lame enough to go there? Surely they aren't going to have our hero playing God and forcing a hideous debt upon these nice people?" This is what I kept chanting all through the second half of the movie. But no ... they went there. I'm not just griping at the lack of a happy ending, but also at the hideous moral example and the thoughtless way the writer of this tripe cranked it out to get his emotional hit. People, this is not what organ donation is about.

This movie is not a fast mover. I spent the first half hour desperately trying to work out what on earth was going on, and at one point nearly gave up. However, the plot slowly draws you in, helped by the excellent acting from all the cast, but in particular Will Smith, and by the time of the dénouement in the last 10 minutes of the film, I was well and truly hooked. I'm not ashamed to admit I cried buckets, and couldn't understand why my husband remained unmoved. Stick with this one, it's worth it.

This is a great movie if you need a good cry. No spoilers, but this movie does a wonderful job of demonstrating the extent that somebody can go to help others.

I got around to this movie late, watching for the 1st time in 2017, 9 years after release date. Sometimes I wonder about pro movie critics as I find myself in disagreement over this movie. This movie will touch the heart and soul. I won't claim its the greatest love story ever told since there are so many, but it ranks right up there with the best. Its not just a love for 1 woman, but actually for 2 beautiful (inside and outside) women that drives the plot of this movie. And by the way its so much more than a love story, but a story of sacrifice and redemption. Its such a wonderful movie I find myself writing a rare review along with reading many of the high rated reviews here as I can't seem to find the right words to express my feelings from this movie.
