Every Will Smith Movie Ranked Worst To Best

24. Collateral Beauty (2016)

King Richard
Warner Bros.

Collateral Beauty sits firmly in the Seven Pounds category of Smith's filmography: It's drama is forced, exaggerated, and manipulative, pitting Smith as a grieving father against three friends who are trying to take over majority control of their company.

Intertwined with this melodrama is a fantasy sub-plot wherein Smith meets the personifications of Love, Time and Death, and attempts to come to terms with his losses.

It's as thematically misguided as it sounds, burying its large cast under a barrage of ill-judged twists, but Smith's portrayal of grief is resounding enough, making it clear the movie would've fared better as a straight drama rather than a surreal fairytale.
