Charlie St. Cloud

"Religious overtones, however, could make this the rare mainstream feature that connects with the faith-based entertainment market."

"You are not, in a movie like this, supposed to think too much; you are supposed to be transported beyond skepticism on a wave of pure, tacky feeling. Instead, in this case, you drown in sentimental, ghoulish nonsense."

"Some bad movies should carry a leper's bell to warn off ticket buyers. Such a contagion is Charlie St. Cloud, a load of mawkish swill starring Zac Efron (bereft of the talent he showed in "Me and Orson Welles")."

"For now, Efron remains an unrealized dream and Charlie St. Cloud an unrealized movie, though judging from the "ooohhs" and "awwwws" from the audience, for his core tween-girl fans, that's more than enough."

"The film doesn't just fail, it actually gets sillier by the minute."

"Charlie (Zac Efron) and Sam (Charlie Tahan) St Cloud make a great team. Despite there being six years between them, the pair are virtually unbeatable on the water and inseparable on land. But all that is about to change."
