Critic Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - Mick LaSalle

A delicate film - not flimsy, but fragile - that holds together on the strength of Efron's physical presence and performance. Read full review

Variety - Dennis Harvey

Religious overtones, however, could make this the rare mainstream feature that connects with the faith-based entertainment market. Read full review

Observer - Rex Reed

One thing that defies debate: Zac Efron is going places as an actor of value. But he deserves better movies than Charlie St. Cloud. Read full review

New York Daily News - Elizabeth Weitzman

Though it was directed by Burr Steers, Charlie St. Cloud feels more like a misguided collaboration among Nicholas Sparks, M. Night Shyamalan and Billy Graham. Read full review

St. Louis Post-Dispatch - Joe Williams

It's more like a shelved episode of "Touched by An Angel." The sappy script is a disservice to the naturally effervescent Efron, whose character is so mopey he makes Robert Pattinson seem like a song-and-dance man. Read full review

Premiere - John DeVore

Ultimately, the reason Charlie St. Cloud loses its momentum is because a love triangle between a grieving man, a beautiful woman from his past, and a spectral shade is just too strange. Read full review

The New York Times - A.O. Scott

You are not, in a movie like this, supposed to think too much; you are supposed to be transported beyond skepticism on a wave of pure, tacky feeling. Instead, in this case, you drown in sentimental, ghoulish nonsense. Read full review
