Charlie St. Cloud

Charlie St. Cloud

Based on an acclaimed novel, "Charlie St. Cloud" is a romantic drama starring Zac Efron as a young man who survives an accident that lets him see the world in a unique way. In this emotionally charged story, he begins a romantic journey in which he embraces the dark realities of the past while discovering the transformative power of love.
Accomplished sailor Charlie St. Cloud (Efron) has the adoration of mother Claire (Oscar® winner Kim Basinger) and little brother Sam (newcomer Charlie Tahan), as well as a college scholarship that will lead him far from his sleepy Pacific Northwest hometown. But his bright future is cut short when a tragedy strikes and takes his dreams with it.
After his high-school classmate Tess (Amanda Crew) returns home unexpectedly, Charlie grows torn between honoring a promise he made four years earlier and moving forward with newfound love. And as he finds the courage to let go of the past for good, Charlie discovers the soul most worth saving is his own.

EN 5 Second Review: As much as we hate to say it, Zac Efron is not the problem with this movie, he actually does a quite good job. The problem is this sappy fantasy plays like a lifetime movie, not a theater movie. If Zac had not signed on no chance this movie makes it to theaters, lets hope he gets better material to work with in his next outing as he has the chops for it.
