Crappy film
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Chris Colfer is a amazing writer and amazing executive producer he is very talented I love how this movie is very inspiring to be himself In his character he really was truly amazing and having a amazing friends and people who are in this movie to make everyone shine super awesome job
I found nothing about this movie enjoyable and am baffled at those who rated it so highly. None of the characters had any redeeming qualities and it was impossible to identify with them. There was a coldness and negativity that was palpable throughout the movie. Chris Colfer's character was a pompous, egotistical and self-centered person who blackmailed his fellow students into going along with his agenda. What kind of person threatens to "out" two gay students for his own purpose? Rebel Wilson wasn't able to offer anything to this movie and I blame that on the writing. I'm sorry I wasted my time watching this. Thank goodness I didn't pay for it in the movie theater.
Struck by lightning is a film about hopes and dreams. I was a lot like Carson Philips in high school myself I have still not achieved my dreams but I will never give up trying to achieve them. I think this film raises a lot of good point and every teenager should be made to watch this at some point during high school. Somewhere along the way I think we all forget about what we have always wanted to achieve and settle for something else.... why should we settle??? We are all capable of becoming and doing anything we want in life! So why do we stop believing we can achieve???? After watching this film I have Realised that without people around us to guide us toward what we want to achieve we may not always remember what we are capable of.... why don't you remind someone in your life what they are capable of every single day I know I am going to try my best too
Most of all the people who've watched this film are likely to be Glee fans pushed by their love for Kurt Hammel or Chris Colfer's entire package (personality, talent, even looks), with that said and after the first ten minutes of film gone by, one must wonder if it's worth staying for the rest of the footage, since this, ladies & gentlemen, isn't Glee, therefore, there is no Mr. Shue or no extravaganza to mellow the sad moments. This is as real as it gets, or at least this is Chris Colfer's experience.Chris is the one in charge here, he's got his own plot and his time to shine, and with all these supplies, he takes the audience on a roller-coaster, a teenager's living on a small town, a place which offers nothing but sadness and deception, nor a place to shine or to call a home. I'm quite sure this is autobiographical, so after the movie is over, I had this sort of feeling that left me satisfied and feeling good , there's always a chance, even when reality seems ''cloudy'' ( some of you might disagree with my view of the story and its context, but nevermind, this is what this site is about , isn't it? ) . In addition, I'd like to thank Chris for keeping Carson's sexuality out of the picture, it wasn't necessary on the plot, and therefore it stays out (I'm gay myself, so don't think I'm being judgmental here)I'm myself a fan of Glee, as you might have noticed since I haven't mentioned the rest of the cast or anything else than Mr. Colfer's name and figure, but let me take these last lines I've got left from sudden inspiration to give a shout out to Rebel Wilson and Allison Janney, without them to movie would have a few more loose ends ( yes, the movie is filled with clichés and some dialogues are ,you'd say,cringe-worthy, but this is a first effort for Mr. Colfer, so he in the name of Glee and second opportunities gets a pass) , I loved their performances and how mobile they are, from comedy to drama so effortlessly, following the wave.Hope you do like the film and find yourself feeling something at the end of it,whether it's disgust or amusement.
