Charlie St. Cloud

Charlie St. Cloud stars Zac Efron and Amanda Crew. This is the story of a young man who gets into a car accident that consequentially kills his younger brother. Prior to his brothers death he made a promise to always play catch with him at the same time everyday. After the accident Charlie starts to interact with dead people, including his younger brother. There is a secondary side plot including his love interest Amanda Crew.

Let's be honest here. The only reason I even drove to the theatre, purchased a ticket and watched this movie is because Zac Efron is delicious. This is a movie that includes water so I knew from the start he would be wet and he would have his shirt off at least once. The wonderful thing is Zac completed my three prerequisites; he wore a suit, he took his shirt off and he cried. The fact that he was wet 70% of the movie was just icing on the cake. Zac efron has muscles in his back that I didn't even know existed.

The plot overall was pretty lame and really predictable. There was one tiny twist that took me by surprise, but that was probably because I was so preoccupied with looking at Zac in tight wet shirts that I missed it. If Zac had not been in this movie I would probably say it was one of the worst movies I had ever seen. Amanda Crew was possibly the worst casting choice I have ever seen. I will give Zac credit for his performance because as always he did a really great job with the material he was given. Let's just hope that he gets better at picking his projects. He is still young and he can bounce back from this flop.

Overall I give this one a 4
