Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
HeadlinesExotic Boring
Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
lovedolphin-75437 Chris Colfer is a amazing writer and amazing executive producer he is very talented I love how this movie is very inspiring to be himself In his character he really was truly amazing and having a amazing friends and people who are in this movie to make everyone shine super awesome job
Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a young man in high school, who has set his sight at a certain university to do a specific programming. On order to increase his chances of getting in, he has to use everything he knows of to get people to contribute essays for his newly created literary magazine.The plot may sound fun and interesting, but it turns out to be not as funny as I expected it to be. The plot is plainly delivered, without dramatic moments or laugh out loud moments. Not even Rebel Wilson can make it funny! The only saving grace is Alison Janney, who is good as a single mother destroyed by a failed marriage. Maybe "Struck By Lightning" relies on dark humour, but it's not dramatic or engaging enough to work
sooriyah007 This is a fresh new take on the underdog of high school. Mainly because Carson Phillips (chris) refuses to be beat down by high school. And the lesson behind the story is just amazing. Getting the most out of life simply by believing in yourself and not worry what the world thinks about you. Stand up for your beliefs! The ending was uncalled for though. But i guess that was what made the movie stand out even more. Every time the problems piled up for Carson, i felt myself getting angry for him but his reaction to the situations blew me away. It may be dark at the end but its still full of humor. A heart-warming story! And Chris Colfer did a great job. Don't think anyone else would have been able to pull of that role!
cayla_k Struck by lightning is a film about hopes and dreams. I was a lot like Carson Philips in high school myself I have still not achieved my dreams but I will never give up trying to achieve them. I think this film raises a lot of good point and every teenager should be made to watch this at some point during high school. Somewhere along the way I think we all forget about what we have always wanted to achieve and settle for something else.... why should we settle??? We are all capable of becoming and doing anything we want in life! So why do we stop believing we can achieve???? After watching this film I have Realised that without people around us to guide us toward what we want to achieve we may not always remember what we are capable of.... why don't you remind someone in your life what they are capable of every single day I know I am going to try my best too
