Accomplished sailor Charlie St. Cloud has the adoration of his mother Claire and his little brother Sam, as well as a college scholarship that will lead him far from his sleepy Pacific Northwest hometown. But his bright future is cut short when a tragedy strikes and takes his dreams with it. After his high-school classmate Tess returns home unexpectedly, Charlie grows torn between honoring a promise he made four years earlier and moving forward with newfound love. And as he finds the courage to let go of the past for good, Charlie discovers the soul most worth saving is his own.

I didn't hear much about 'Charlie St. Cloud' when it originally came out in 2010. I've since learned that it didn't make very much money and was panned pretty badly by critics. I don't really know how this got into my watch list, but it is what it is. It's a really sad tale about a loving big brother losing his brother in a car accident and then spending the next 5 years working at the cemetery that he's buried at. It's pretty dark stuff and not at all what I expected. I think Zac Efron held his own pretty well for a guy who has crazy depression but still takes the time to perfectly quaff his hair every morning.…

Not ashamed to say I love this movie. I cried almost the entire time. So good.

Oh, what we do for our loved ones. I would have never watched this if I didn't let my mom choose the movie today.
Simply put, it's bad. Nothing more to say.

Not bad. A sweet story about a guy who sees dead people and falls in love with one of them. Sort of.
Zac Efron is actually pretty good here, showing he can play the heart broken romantic lead, but the story is just sort of there.

Adorable!

Einfühlsamer Film, der sich damit beschäftigt, wie es ist loszulassen

Zac Efron looks good in it, and the actual film isn't too bad either.

"Ridiculous story on so many levels."

Need to rewatch, because I didn't watch the beginning, but it was entertaining.
