It's beyond anything we ever imagined Charlie.

Date: Sunday 31st March
Film: Charlie St. Cloud (2010)
Director: Burr Steers
Starring: Zac EfronAmanda Crew and Charlie Tahan
Running time: 01 hour, 39 minutes
Rating: 7/10

Sunday morning and The Luce and I decided all we needed to start the day off with a smile, was to laze on the sofa, in our pyjamas, watching Zac Efron frolic about on a boat.

Can't imagine why.

Jesus, he's handsome.


Charlie St. Cloud is in a similar vein to a lot of Nicholas Sparks adaptations. It tells a tale of romance in a small town by a lake. The thing that changes it a little from Nicholas Sparks and other stories of this ilk, is this story focuses on grief, and how Charlie comes to terms with the loss of his younger brother and the impact this has had on his life.

Charlie St. Cloud is by no means perfect, it is predictable, it's a little corny, not all the characters are likeable, but there is something about it that makes it enjoyable (and it's not just Zac Efron brooding, I promise).
