Summary: Not recommend....
Review: The movie realistically portrays the relationships in the modern days, which is unconventional to most of the Hollywood love fairy-tales I've seen.
Nice for a change.
Not mentioning most actors in the film gave solid performace.
However it's disgusting to see what the movie is leading us.
The movie seems to put emphasis on encouraging couples to jeopardise a health relationship to sneak out and seek for a new partner.
What's it going on guys???
Was the filmmaker probably initiated into making the film
from a past experience similar to the behaviour of the characters in the movie? Or when has immorality of this world become norm rather than exception?
In my view, you can safely skip this movie and choose other title,and would most likely turn out to be a better choice than this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My Review
Review: It seems as though this movie is not a known movie.......I wish it was beacuse it was one of the most realistic movies that I have ever seen. When I was watching it I felt like I was really her. I had the same exact surgery that she did.......and I experienced the same exact feelings that she did.........I give it 2 thumbs up and five stars.........A movie that really makes you undersatnd what life is about and makes you realize that we can't control everything......We just need to try to live happy and be as positive as we can - ALWAYS (even when times are bad)!!!!!!!

Summary: Why?
Review: This movie is awful.The movie took some of the most talented young actors in Hollywood and wasted their talents in this dreadful teen romance.The movie is about a private school prep that crashes into a diner and has to spend his summer re-building it.While he is re-building this diner he falls for LeeLee Sobieski,who is dating Josh Hartnet.Yeah rich prep and poor sick smalltown girl fall for each other and she dumps Josh(why?why?)for this rich prep.Oh and she is dying as well.This movie is horrid.Chris Klien,LeeLee Sobieski,and Josh Hartnet wasted their talent for this awful movie.The movie is so predictable it's just not even funny.Don't even waste your time.If you want a good drama get A Walk To Remember.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Here on Earth
Review: I know some ppl thought that this movie was shallow but i thought that it was brilliant. The acting was quite good, Josh Hartnett deserves a standing ovation for his portrayal of Jasper and I'm really glad that I am not the only one who thought that Leelee was a "Helen Hunt", but did any one else get reminded of Keneau Reeves by Chris Klien?

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: "This movie is so sad!" Indeed, it is, in every sense.
Review: It was a sad day that I decided to sacrifice part of my day to watch Here On Earth. The film is a replication of every other formula love story: jerk meets girl with decent boyfriend -> falls in love with girl, fights boyfriend -> loses girl forever, old boyfriend not such a bad guy afterall. The end.

That storyline will be found in cinema till the day an asteroid destroys the earth, which in itself is not a bad theme (the lost love etc., not doomsday). I enjoy a little pathos through mathos, enlightenment through suffering or loss. But the screenwriters for Here On Earth hardly have the knack to tell a story like the ancient Greek tragedists (See Aeschylus).

Josh Hartnett, Lee Lee Sobieski, and Chris Klein provide able performances, but then who couldn't for roles we've all had embedded into our brains by so many other better movies (A Farewell To Arms [1932 ver.], Love Story, etc.). The trio are trapped in a weak screenplay of cliches and melodramatic scenes that would have made Douglas Sirk proud (Written On The Wind).

For those of you who have experienced loss and love together, much of this film may hit close to home. From this, empathy for the characters' sufferings will give a shared experience to the viewer that can enhance the melancholic enjoyment of the film. But aside from this, there are few positive notes I can say about Here On Earth, except kudos for these (previously) upcoming actors and Sobieski's ability to imitate Helen Hunt.

I only wish an asteroid could have destroyed the vault containing Here On Earth's master reel before it went to video/dvd.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Horrible Storyline, Script, Etc...
Review: I will start off by saying I LOVE Josh Hartnett. He did as good a job as he could in this movie, but the storyline was lacking in more than one place.. At times, the dialogue between Leelee Sobieski and Chris Klein were so corny and outrageous, it almost made me sick. (At one point Klein actually names Sobieski's boobs after two Northeastern states...)

I will say that recently, Klein has proven his great acting ability more than once (think "We Were Soldiers", "American Pie" 1 & 2), but in "Here on Earth" his acting was horrendous.

I'm sure Sobieski is truly a wonderful person in reality, but so far, I've not found a movie of her's that I've liked. Accept for maybe "Joy Ride" which has her in only about 30-40% of the film (great movie, by the way).

Josh Hartnett is as fabulous an actor as he's always been, but in this movie, his down to earth, humble, quiet, sensitive character is made out to be nothing more than a jealous, corruptive, possessive boyfriend.

If they expect us to believe that Sobieski's character would choose Klein's rich boy "Kelley" over Hartnett's small town "Jasper", they should have cast someone more lovable than Hartnett to take Klein's place. (Not an easy job..Good luck..) My rating stands. This is a movie worth missing.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Terrible
Review: The story was incredibly predictable and incorporated all of the "adult" issues. (cancer, suicide, car crashes) Although JOsh Hartnett shined as usual, his character was written badly, and LeeLee Sobieski and Chris Klein were terrible. Sobieski was anorexically thin, extremely dis believable and it made you wonder why Hartnett and Klein wanted her so badly. The plot was such a cliche story and although with different actors cast in Klein's and Sobieski's roles, it might have been a bit better, the overall result was terrible.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I AGREE!
Review: HERE HERE PEOPLE! I SO TOTALLY AGREE! WHAT KIND OF GIRL WOULD WANT CHRIS KLEIN WHEN SHE COULD HAVE JOSH HARTNETT! I FELT SO BAD FOR JOSH'S CHARACTER... SOMETHING WAS SO SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH LEELEE SOBIESKI... IT WAS SWEET TO SEE JOSH PLAY A FARM BOY!!! I LOVED IT! ANYWAYS,TOO MUCH KLEIN AND NOT ENOUGH JOSH!!!! ENOUGH SAID.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Predictable, BOR-ING, wooden acting
Review: I gave it two stars, because in truth, I have seen worse movies (how about "The Wedding Planner?" Sorry, I digress)--BUT NOT BY MUCH. I am not immune to the charms of good teen movies (witness "Clueless," "Never Been Kissed," "10 Things I Hate About You") but this movie was beyond even my sap-intake level. I thought Lee Lee (sp?) Sobieski was so vanilla that it was incredible either of these guys found her interesting, far less worth squabbling over. You saw (Ending Giveaway Alert) the demise of her character a mile away (more precisely, at the beginning of the movie), and the whole Kelley character's (no to disrespect intended) deceased mother/standing in the rain scene was nauseating. Spend some quality time with an amazing love story, acted to perfection, and invest in BBC's "Pride and Prejudice"--also the inspiration for "Bridget Jones' Diary," for those of you who might otherwise dismiss Jane Austen's inestimable charms!
