Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

jejcruzn The move now feels like from a time that has gone by. I found the movie to be well casted. I thought that Klein was perfect as the rich WASPY preppy.

SnoopyStyle Kelley Morse (Chris Klein) is an entitled rich private school brat. His absentee father gifts him a new Mercedes. The headmaster puts it under lock but Kelley takes it out for a ride. He and his friends stop at a local diner. He hits on waitress Samantha Cavanaugh (Leelee Sobieski) and gets into a road race with her boyfriend Jasper Arnold (Josh Hartnett). The diner owned by Samantha's parents Jo (Annette O'Toole) and Sheriff Earl Cavanaugh (Bruce Greenwood) get destroyed and the boys get an unusual punishment. They have to help rebuild the diner. Since the school is closed, Kelley joins to live with the Arnolds (Michael Rooker, Annie Corley).It's a teen romance with a terminal illness. There isn't anything wrong with the genre but there isn't anything new. The movie gets stuck into its inevitable path. It may be better for Klein and Hartnett to switch roles. They seem to be similar types of actors but Hartnett can muster up a little more damage and heart. There isn't enough to choose one over the other and these movies do require the audience to do just that. They have to sell dumping Jasper before they sell buying Kelley. I have no problem with a formula teen romance but it has to be constructed almost perfectly or else it would be panned for any number of cliché critiques.

Erin 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.

emmym70 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.
