Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
GazerRise Fantastic!
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
jejcruzn The move now feels like from a time that has gone by. I found the movie to be well casted. I thought that Klein was perfect as the rich WASPY preppy.
slicky13 Read the title. Everything about this movie was godawful. It was terrible. Really really bad. Hated it. Worst movie ever. Chris Klein should kill himself. Did I mention it sucked? Well it did. The worst part about it was the acting, storyline, directing, and dialogue. Anyone who likes this movie should be sterilized. Who greenlit this trainwreck? Whoever that is should be in prison. I may sue for infliction of emotional distress. I can't even deal. I can't even. When our society collapses, future historians will see this film as the cause of our downfall. I'm not exaggerating. The thing I hated most about it was everything.
mr_alan_thompson I loved this film. For me, Saturday afternoons are always put aside for a film and on this occasion I opted for Here on Earth. Let me tell you, I have never felt so emotional when watching a film in all my life. The acting is superb and I am not ashamed to say I cried at various points, the dialogue especially touched me. Some people say that young actors can not compare to the older generations but credit where it is due, these really blew my mind.I don't want to give the story away as it always spoils it for me when people tell too much about what goes on but just to say if you are in the mood for a film that really stretches the emotions and gets you thinking, then opt for this one. You may not cry as I did, I often get in those states! But you will love it, I am sure.Top film.
Erin To be fair, it has been several years since I watched the bile committed to celluloid known as "Here on Earth," so forgive me if my memory of the film is a little sketchy. I'll stick with the main points which plague the soul of the unfortunate viewer.Scene One: Chris Klein, after having been thrown out of prep school (because he looks like a seventeen year old--yes, very believable), gives what I assume is his valedictorian speech...to a field. Let me repeat that for you--a field. I think we're supposed to be moved by the combination of shame and eloquence he is failing to express. Klein has the delivery and facial expressions of a cardboard cutout. He is a decent looking piece of cardboard, but little more.Scene Two: After some joyriding and teenage pyromaniac hijinks, Chris Klein and Josh Hartnett do some damage to the local diner, of which he is forced to rebuild. Of course. Because who better to help with construction than some random moron who crashed into it/ burned it in the first place. Better yet, let's have said random moron move in on Josh Hartnett's girl, Miss Sobeski, the girl he fancies for...her equally wooden line delivery? Scene Three: Chris Klein's character is making out with Leelee Sobeski's character and decides to name her various body parts after the states on the eastern seaboard. My soul weeps. Really, how can this scenario turn out well? Surely you must alienate several million people if you imply their home is equivalent to Miss Sobeski's more...erm...feminine areas. Secondly, naming her breasts after New York and New Jersey prompts some confusion as to whether Miss Sobeski is actually freakishly disproportionate.Scene Four: Leelee is running. She falls down. This gives her...knee cancer. "We always knew it could come back," her father(?) says. Right. Knee cancer. From tripping. Perhaps I missed something. As I said, it's been a few years. Surely I missed something. Didn't I? For the love of God, please tell me the girl did not contract KNEE cancer from falling down. That scream you just heard was my soul dying.
