Charlie St. Cloud

Tearjerker
3 stars
Tearjerker without the tears; I didn’t even come close to sniffling and I’m the biggest sniffler I know! Zac Efron sees dead people. Namely his little brother whom he plays catch with nightly and also a soldier buddy. His life changes when he meets a pretty girl who shares his love of boating. Co-stars include Charlie Tahan as the little brother (he looks so much like a mini Steve Zahn!) and Amanda Crew as the love interest. Gorgeous scenery of the West Vancouver coast, but a so-so story that I figured out long before the “surprise twist” was revealed. It’s a 2.5 star story with 5 star scenery, so I settled for 3. Wait for cable.
