Charlie St. Cloud


This film, starring Zac Efron as the title character, is about Charlie who becomes conflicted in his life because of the promise he made to his dead brother to meet at a certain spot everyday to spend time with him.

Critics are comparing this film to all those Nicholas Sparks films. Just because it is a movie about love and deeper meaning does not mean that it is all the same. I really liked this film. It has a great message to it. It is full of genuine relationships. Some of the acting may not be superb, but it gets the job done. It was a very cool concept that keeps you highly entertained. Many times we become too critical that we miss the point of the film altogether.

This movie is like a puzzle that is being pieced together in different places to form one big picture in the end. It was well-done, and I'm confused why it didn't get better reviews.

Overall Grade: A
