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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
fav 5 films of the year - Tenet, Bill n Ted 3, Invisible Man, JoJo Rabbit, ?
