Re: Charlie St. Cloud
Not completely awful but it is quite boring. The film was fairly sad and I thought Zac put in a decent performance but it was cheesy and not in a good way (you couldn't really laugh at what was happening). If it didn't have Zac Efron in it then I could easily see this being the Channel 5 afternoon movie (maybe a bit harsh?). I wouldn't waste money/vouchers on this, unless you happen to be an Efron fan. 6/10.

Re: Charlie St. Cloud
I saw this at Islington tonight. Got there late but there was plenty of room. I decided that I was not the target audience for this, which was probably why I did not appreciate it. The only character that I liked was Zac's assistant at the grave yard. It was a breath of fresh air whenever he came onto the screen - shame that he did not have a bigger part.

Re: Charlie St. Cloud
Seen at the Vue Cardiff, pretty full but I think the teenage girls were outnumbered by the over 40's. Agree with most comments about the film aimed at the teenage market.
I would give an average mark with no outstanding acting features I'm afraid 5/10. The scenery was, however superb.
My OH asked if Charlie was supposed to have his eyes 'massacred' like that. I would love to have eye lashes like that!. In his defence, it was the first time he had seen that particular actor.

Re: Charlie St. Cloud
I saw this at the Islington Vue. It was terribly sentimental and predictable and it did drag on even though it really wasn't a long film. Still it did make me feel that Zac Efron has potential and will last past the teenage heart throb stage.

Re: Charlie St. Cloud

Re: Charlie St. Cloud
First film of the day for me. A little cheesy, but Okish.
I thought it may have been much worse than it was.
6.5 out of 10.

Re: Charlie St. Cloud
pretty bad. the film felt like it had scenes missing. Zac Efron isnt up to much here.
the best scenes are the ones with his dead brother.
4/10
6/10 if you are a young Efronised chick
