Summary: A great teen romance movie!
Review: I absolutely loved this movie. I completely disagree with all the other reviews. Josh Hartnett was not that well known when this movie first came out. The movie is about a prep school jock that is about to graduate gets into an accident at a gas station/diner and has to spend his summer helping out rebuilding the diner. He meets Sam (LeeLee) and those 2 fall in love. But there is something in between them, Jasper (Josh Hartnett). I think its a great story because a lot of teens can relate to this movie. Except for the part that Sam gets cancer. But just about every teen has been caught up in a love triangle. And I love hearing about people falling in love and will go out of their way just for each other. I highly recommend this movie. But the main audience this movie would appeal to is the hopeless romantic type like myself.

Summary: A Definate "Watch Again, & Again ,& Again" Movie!
Review: This movie keeps me engaged from beginning to end. If you love watching young people being surprisingly mature and wise beyond their years (LeeLee's character), yet recklessly in love at times (Hartnett & Klein's characters), you'll like this movie. It's the story of two teen boys putting back and making right what they have ruined, and a teen girl finding out that her longtime bestfriend/boyfriend (one of the boys} isn't necessarally her "true" love....Can you guess what role the other boy plays?... The Robert Frost poem used as the backdrop of the film lends a special meaning. Music tops it off perfectly. It is truely a "tear yerker" at the end. LOVED THIS MOVIE SO MUCH THAT I EVEN BOUGHT THE SOUNDTRACK...WHICH IS TERRIFIC AS WELL. It brings back all the great scenes of the movie!

Summary: Almost worse than Charlie's Angels
Review: I watched this on cable because I was a big Leelee fan. Big mistake. What a horrible film. You don't care one bit for any of the characters in the movie. Chris Klein plays a guy who is a complete jerk in the film, and steals away Josh Hartnett's longtime girlfriend. If the writer knew what they were doing, this film would have followed the proven formula, and made Hartnett an ass, and Leelee as the girlfriend trapped in a bad relationship, from which she's saved by Klein. But Hartnett is a really cool guy, who shows a lot of emotion and love for Leelee. You then hate leelee, because she cheats on Hartnett with Klein, who is a jerk to everyone in the town that's trying to help him and really stuck up. It's also really campy, and the characters do everything but run around the kitchen dancing and lip synching, and using hairbrushes and spoons and fake microphones (although they come very close). What a horrible horrible movie. You don't even care what happens in the end because the director never lets you care about the characters.

Summary: This picture its magic
Review: `Here on Earth'' is about very young love, first love, the kind that happens between teenagers. It's the oldest subject in the world, and the newest. The least that can be said for ``Here on Earth'' is that it's a showcase for three up-and- coming actors who have enough talent to be unstoppable. Chris Klein, who played amiable jocks in his first two films, ``Election'' and ``American Pie,'' here plays a rich boy with a chip on his shoulder. Slumming in the town where he goes to prep school, Kelley flirts with a waitress, Samantha (Leelee Sobieski), and ends up in a fight with her boyfriend, Jasper (Josh Hartnett). There's also a run-in with the law. The upshot: rich boy ordered by judge to spend summer living and working in lower-middle-class Boston suburb. ``Here on Earth'' doesn't indulge in the cliché that the poor are better off than the rich. Money is not Kelley's problem. Even as he grows and opens up, his money gives him an edge, a faint quality of distance. Klein conveys that quality, while still making Kelley a sympathetic character. In a way, ``Here on Earth'' is Klein's movie. He plays the fellow who takes the journey and finds his world view transformed. But Sobieski, who plays the girl responsible for that transformation, gives the picture its magic. As Samantha, she is completely green and yet perceptive and intelligent. Her low voice suggests the woman she'll become, while her diffident gestures and shaky eye contact are leftovers from childhood. Sobieski also has a great look for the part -- pretty but gawky, as if she hasn't yet got used to inhabiting a grown-up body. There are things lovers don't say to each other after the age of 20. Samantha and Kelley are teenagers, so they say all those things. They talk about poetry. They talk about what they imagine heaven is like. ``Here on Earth'' distinguishes itself by not taking the easy way out: It's not about sex. The authenticity of the dialogue and the sensitivity of Mark Piznarski's direction persuade the viewer that these are two souls making their first intimate connection. Watching it, one feels the size and importance of this event in their lives. At the center of ``Here on Earth'' is the love triangle, with poor Jasper, the longtime boyfriend, the odd man out. Hartnett does a beautiful job as a confident kid successfully hiding the fact that he's scared to death. He barely shows us his fear that he'll lose Samantha, but there's no mistaking it -- or the fact that it's eating him up. Pretty boy Klein and Farm boy Hartnett playoff each other's good looks beautifully. Complete foils for one another; therein lies a conflict worth 7.25 to see. This film takes this to an extreme length, forcing a relationship between them that is hostile, frenetic & at times intimate, if not homoerotic. Though the sexual tension has to be played out through the conflict over Samantha. Yet for all of Hartnett's and Klein's virtues, the attention keeps coming back to Sobieski. Her performance is lovely. Late in the picture, Sobieski has some line-readings that are so emotionally full, strange and truthful that really nothing more need be said...

Summary: a MUST see movie with amazingly talented actors
Review: This movie was so unbelievably amazing. At first I knew I had to see it because it had Josh Hartnett and Chris Klien, that was a must. I expected it to be good, but it was so far beyond that. From the previews it just seems like some lame, romantic teen flick but it's so much more. Everyone needs to see this movie because they need to realize what's important in life, not how much money you have(even though I'm sure it makes life a whole heck-of-a-lot easier), not what kind of car you drive, or how big and fancy your house is. It's about the who, not the what. After seeing this it will make you realize that you shouldn't take anything for granted, I know it sounds really cliche but it's true. For those of you who haven't seen it or don't remember the previews, here's a quick plot review; rich guy walks into town, flirts with poor guys chick, poor guy gets a little pissed and decides to race the rich guy. Well, they crash, blow up a restaurant and are sentenced to rebuild it that summer. The story goes on from there while conflict builds with the Leelee's character(I don't want to reveal too much). I would like to warn you that even if your a person who takes a lot to cry, you'll at least have tears in your eyes. I sobbed through at least half of the movie. The ending scene will cheer you up though. I recommend you to see this movie and buy it, at least add it too your "wish list"!

Summary: wildly predictable and uninspiring teen fluff
Review: If beautiful people and horrible writing move you, by all means purchase this movie now and cry like there's no tomorrow. This is an instant classic from the profitable teen cheese factory and delivers like a charm to those who LOVE teen weepies. (For us others, we'll just suffer in silence, or, as I did, laugh really hard.) The requisite ingredients - love triangle, terminal disease, poor boy/rich boy - push the plot along in the most predictable way imaginable. Sam (Lelee Sobieski) and Jasper (Josh Hartnett) are happy in love, a superstar couple in their small town until Kelley (Chris Klein), the wealthy, out-of-town snot, comes crashing into the diner owned by Sam's parents. As a punishment, he must rebuild the diner but with the help of our buddy Jasper, who also had a hand in the crash. Before long, Sam eyes that hunky Kelley because, hey, who wouldn't fall for a mysterious rich kid? While the two boys wage their testosterone war, Sam discovers she has cancer. Uh-oh! This movie is a big disappointment because it fails to capitalize on a relatively talented cast and a pseudo-inspiring story. Rather than developing characters instead of caricatures, the filmmakers opted for the easy, fast cash route. As a result, the dialogue seems to be spun from a 13 year old's soap opera fantasy, befitting of the target audience I suppose. Nothing innovative or inspiring comes about, leaving the audience with zero originality to warm to; this total lack of emotional investment keeps the movie distant and empty. You could say it offers ever-important life lessons to the female jr. high crowd. They undoubtedly appreciate the fine merits of this film that those in the general population seem to have missed

Summary: I've Never Laughed So Hard
Review: This is easily the worst movie I've ever seen. Most other contenders for the title have been directed and written with knowledge of their inherent ridiculousness and, at least, have off-beat plots. "Here On Earth", however, brings the viewer a usual Hollywood storyline and loads it with more sap than you could find in a maple syrup factory. The dialogue is predictable and generally awful; one might even imagine that this film were some sort of spoof of teen dramas. In a sense, it IS worth seeing, if only for the laughs. I just feel sorry for all the weeping teenage girls who had to sit behind me in the theatre...

Summary: Awful..
Review: This movie is awful, I cannot stand LeeLee Sobieski as an actress, she makes me feel like I am going to be sick.. She always delivers her lines so forced.. Like you can tell she is reading, she just is very annoying and gets under my skin BAD, and therefore watching her only makes it worse. I am sure she is a great person or whatever, but she does not need to be an actress. Chris Klein was also VERY disappointing in this movie, Josh Hartnett was pretty good though. I definately do not recommend this.. but hey every man to his own, maybe you will like it.
