Rene Rodriguez
It's more of a demo reel for Efron than a movie. His predominant fan base, though, won't mind a bit.
Anna Smith
As the drama increases, so do the clumsy flashbacks and corny lines: this relies on cheap tricks to force tears, even if those tricks work.
Liam Lacey
All this sets us up for a "twist" ending, but if you don't predict it a half-hour before its revelation, you surely must have nodded off during baseball practice.
Tom Long
Where's a vampire when you need one?
Michael O'Sullivan
The movie has a machine-extruded gloss that makes it harder, not easier, to swallow its difficult emotions.
Lou Lumenick
Maudlin and unintentionally hilarious.

While Efron does his best to carry the film, the rest of Charlie St. Cloud feels a bit too formulaic, pretentious and cloying...
User reviews
Thumbs up This movie, could be a movie you could actually relate to. If you have lost someone, or just made a mistake you cannot go back and change, you could absolutley relate to this. Finding love along the way, after making a promise not to. It's really tough, and happend to alot of people. This is the type of movie that has alot of sadness, and heart-warming parts to it. I was in tears a couple times while watching the movie, looking to read the book soon. Efron did an amazing job, I could actually feel the pain, feeling the love connection between him and Amanda. Like it was something so real. It was one of the best movies I've ever seen and I wish it was a part two to it.
Very touching I chanced upon thus movie by accident. So powerful I watched it three times in a row and for days on end.
