  1. Late in the picture, Sobieski has some line-readings that are so emotionally full, strange and truthful that really nothing more need be said.
  2. Any movie that opens with a Goo Goo Dolls song and ends with a line like "I'm going to live -- just not as long as you" is bound to leave somebody reaching for a Kleenex.
  3. 50
    Slides too easily into its sentimentality; the characters should have put up more of a struggle.
  4. 50
    Corny? You bet. But it also proves surprisingly inviting -- for a while, anyway.
  5. The three actors do their best to breathe life into their caricatured roles.
  6. Love means never having to say you're recycling plot material.

    As for first-time feature director Mark Piznarski, he should be cited for excessive use of slow motion, sun-dappled trees and golden light; one more cliche violation and his license to direct would be forfeit.
  8. 38
    Offers little in the way of splendor in the grass.
  9. An almost terminally sappy youth romance.
  10. 38
    Hokey, inept tear-jerker.

    Don't be surprised if you exit Here On Earth feeling both moved and incredulous.
  14. Just the ticket for girls in their early teens.
  15. Nothing wrong with the syrupy romance Here on Earth that a megadose of insulin couldn't fix.

    The script is drippy, humor-free and old-fashioned:

    So very general in its characters and story that it actively keeps you from enjoying the simple pleasures of a movie like this.

    Still never having to say you're sorry.

    Young teen girls will flock to pic in droves, dragging their boyfriends or other girlfriends.

    A moldy teenage tear-jerker.
  21. 10
    It would be heartening if the adolescent girls of America turned their backs on this pandering piece of kitsch, but that would be hoping too much.
  22. 10
    Neither the love nor the loss in this tear-jerking romance contains much drama.
  23. Somewhere along the road to becoming teens idols, these actors got confused between being the bomb -- and getting it.

    Complete and utter horseshit.

    This is the worst movie ever made. the guy who washes dishes at oriental garden in denton made a movie called homeless in denton that runs intellectual and emotional circles around this drivel. under no circumstances should any human being have to suffer through such unrepentant horse-feces. if your girlfriend asks you to watch this movie, tell her you gave her herpes to teach her a lesson. then further avenge yourself by making her watch Bio-Dome.
