    Incredible

    I'll try to write this as best as I can without spoiling anything, because, one of the many incredible things about this movie, is the element of suprise.
    Charlie St. Cloud, as most of you know, is the story of a young man who loses his younger brother in a car accident.The story is about a bond between brothers, however, it's not that simple.There is a lot of suspense -and of course, drama- in this movie.If you are looking for a movie with a happy ending, although this seems like a sad movie, Charlie St. Cloud is definitly the best movie you could look for.It is an inspiring story and you can't help but fall in love with the bond between Charlie and Sam.However, the whole story doesn't revolve around Charlie's relationship with Sam, it begins to turn into a romance and focus on his relationship with Tess.She really helps him live again and whether he realizes it or not- to move on. The movie has everything from comedy to love. Overall, the movie is one of the best I've seen.

    A different side of Zac Efron

    I will start out by stating that I am a huge fan of Efron so I had a slightly biased opinion about the movie even before I saw it.
    The movie and story truly exceeded my expectations. I did not read the book so I am unable to compare, but the story takes an unexpected turn causing the audience to question the previous events.
    I would highly recommend this movie to fans of Zac Efron, however, I would heed the PG-13 rating; it may not be suitable for most children. I also would recommend this movie for those who do not respect Efron as an actor; the character is different from his previous roles. Overall, this movie will not please everyone, but it will entertain a wide variety of movie-goers.

    Charlie St. Cloud

    I LOVED the movie, Charlie St. Cloud. The fact that Charlie could "see dead people" kept us guessing WHO was alive and who was dead, all the way through! Zac Efron, of course, did an AWESOME acting job. He's a winner every time! I think teens, young adults, and adults of all ages will enjoy the film. It has such a sweet story line and keeps you rooting for the characters!
