Movie Review: Charlie St. Cloud

I've recently just watched Charlie St. Cloud.  It is a movie adaptation of a fictional novel "The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud" by Ben Sherwood.  The movie drew attention because its a Romantic Drama starring Zac Efron.   Did he pull it off in this movie?

It is a fictional story about a boy named Charlie St. Cloud who faces difficulty in letting go of the death of his younger brother and meets a girl who wants him to move on.  Its about brotherhood and love.  The film is a bit entertaining but it could have been presented better.  Some of the parts in the drama lacked impact.  The plot was too predictable.  On the other hand, Zac Efron played well in his overly dramatic role in the movie.   

Overall, the movie was a simple drama with no sparks.  It was good but nothing spectacular.  Worth the watch if you want to see the the charming Zac Efron in grief.
