Based on an acclaimed novel, Charlie St Cloud is a romantic drama starring Zac Efron as a young man who survives an accident that lets him see the world in a unique way. In this emotionally charged story, he begins a romantic journey in which he embraces the dark realities of the past while discovering the transformational power of love. Accomplished sailor Charlie St Cloud (Efron) has the adoration of mother Claire (Kim Basinger) and little brother Sam (newcomer Charlie Tahan), 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 (Amanda Crew) returns home unexpectedly, Charlie grows torn between honouring a promise he made four years earlier and moving forward with new-found 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.

Quite enjoyable movie 3 and a half stars.

A quite predictable movie - that focuses on the grief of loss of a loved one and one persons difficulty in letting go. The movie had a pleasant flow though, even if it did step into new age fantasy about what happens after a person dies.
Worth watching.

Sensitive and well executed account of the loss of a loved one and the way we hold onto their memory.The inbetween.. also is in the recent movie of The Lovely Bones but this movie is a little more gentle as with Zac Efron as the lead will attract a younger audience.
Touching and at times a little Disney ,predictable ..but Zac shows his ability to act and demonstrates how it's not all smooth sailing to let go of someone we love
