This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Where to start on this start-to-finish drivel? The plot line is banal. The script writer should be embarrassed to have anyone else hear the lines he or she wrote -- clunker after clunker. The acting performances are wooden, probably because they realized they were being put in front of a camera with such pablum to recite. The music is insulting. I grabbed this as i was on my spinning bike, and it's a bit inconvenient to change selections, so i stayed with it. I did retain some hope it would improve, but it stayed dismal start to finish. Perhaps consistency is the only positive thing I can say about this consistently miserable excuse of a movie. Anyone who rates it higher than three out of ten stars was either in it, helped produce it, and is a supportive friend or family member of those who dumped this lame effort on the world.

To be fair, it has been several years since I watched the bile committed to celluloid known as "Here on Earth," so forgive me if my memory of the film is a little sketchy. I'll stick with the main points which plague the soul of the unfortunate viewer.Scene One: Chris Klein, after having been thrown out of prep school (because he looks like a seventeen year old--yes, very believable), gives what I assume is his valedictorian speech...to a field. Let me repeat that for you--a field. I think we're supposed to be moved by the combination of shame and eloquence he is failing to express. Klein has the delivery and facial expressions of a cardboard cutout. He is a decent looking piece of cardboard, but little more.Scene Two: After some joyriding and teenage pyromaniac hijinks, Chris Klein and Josh Hartnett do some damage to the local diner, of which he is forced to rebuild. Of course. Because who better to help with construction than some random moron who crashed into it/ burned it in the first place. Better yet, let's have said random moron move in on Josh Hartnett's girl, Miss Sobeski, the girl he fancies for...her equally wooden line delivery? Scene Three: Chris Klein's character is making out with Leelee Sobeski's character and decides to name her various body parts after the states on the eastern seaboard. My soul weeps. Really, how can this scenario turn out well? Surely you must alienate several million people if you imply their home is equivalent to Miss Sobeski's more...erm...feminine areas. Secondly, naming her breasts after New York and New Jersey prompts some confusion as to whether Miss Sobeski is actually freakishly disproportionate.Scene Four: Leelee is running. She falls down. This gives her...knee cancer. "We always knew it could come back," her father(?) says. Right. Knee cancer. From tripping. Perhaps I missed something. As I said, it's been a few years. Surely I missed something. Didn't I? For the love of God, please tell me the girl did not contract KNEE cancer from falling down. That scream you just heard was my soul dying.

I absolutely loved this movie. I saw it for the first time today on ABC Family, and at first I was like, this is retarded, but I got drawn in. I really didn't like the music in the movie, but honestly, who cares when the movie was that good? First of all, Leelee Sobieski is extremely beautiful, and Chris Klein was really hot when he was disheveled. Josh Hartnett too. Then I loved the opening, when Kelley got the car. I had to go to the bathroom, so I missed a lot of the beginning. The intensity of this movie was extremely high, and then I almost cried at the end when she tripped and then she told Kelley she had cancer. And I thought it was extremely cute when Kelley was naming her body parts as states. I also thought it was cute when Jasper decided to give it up and remain friends with Sam, and when he told Kelley that Sam needed him. And also when Sam's father was sobbing because he was going to lose his little girl. The entire thing was extremely sad, and anyone who like a Walk to Remember should see this. I loved this and I would recommend this to all ages. I almost never cry during movies, but I did for this one.
