Here On Earth

Annette O'Toole, Annie Corley, Bruce Greenwood, Chris Klein, Josh Hartnett

Slumming among the locals of a small New York town, Kelley Morse (Chris Klein), graduating senior at a posh prep school and all-around insufferable rich kid, engages the testosterone of one of the hic...( read more  read more... )ks (Josh Hartnett) when he flirts with the guy's girlfriend, Samantha (LeeLee Sobieski). A car chase ensues, resulting in Samantha's family's diner getting blown up, which in turn lands the boys in hot water with the law. The upshot is the snotty rich kid is sentenced to help the locals rebuild the diner. A romance develops between Kelley and Samantha, apparently because they like a particular Robert Frost poem. So now they're deep, see. But then their love is tested when Samantha contracts Ali MacGraw disease. You know, that's the sudden disease Ali McGraw gets in Love Story--really an excuse to emphasize the strength of the characters' love. You don't know what you got till it's gone, right? This film would be pretty bad if the performances weren't so engaging, especially LeeLee Sobieski's, who seems to be channeling Helen Hunt in this movie. Though Chris Klein never makes us believe for an instant that his arrogant character could make the changes he does, or that his and Sobieski's characters could ever really get together. The script is too thin to support any motivations, and the film falls into formula weepy territory to appeal to teen tear ducts. Lovers of weepies might overlook the film's plot weaknesses in favor of the strong performances and the prospect of a good cry. --Jim Gay

    VERY sad, but good movie. Lots of stars in this one, and the message is a good one!

    So the girl was dating an jerk and then fell for a prick. I didn't really get this movie.

    Now first of all, I'm a sucker when it comes to good romance films and this is one of them. I don't particularly like Chris Klein, nor Josh Hartnett but the character's are so well developed that you forgot how much Klein has bad looks.
    P is for Predictable, but also Priceless....( read more) We've seen this type of love story for years and years but it'll always be timeless - that's the whole beauty of romance!
    Watch if you're a fan of sappy and melancholic films. Or just because you're a hopeless romantic.

    Both Kelley and Jasper were way too good for her. I admit it was a sad ending of the story, but the plot was so unoriginal. You could predict everything! The upside about this movie is that Klein and Hartnett are HOT, yeah.

    Josh Hartnett is hot. I didn't like the girl in this movie, it was worng of her to be a cheater but then she's suppose to be the right person at the end? She's not even all that good looking. Maybe she got what she deserved?

    I guess we can call that a love story.

    Sorry, but Kelley, aka "Richy" was a douche from beginning to end. Can't get too excited about a main character that never sees the light.
