Struck by Lightning (2012)

You won't be disappointed!

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

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 loved this movie. It is a thoughtful showcase of the trials and tribulations many teen agers face these days. Particularly ones that desire greatness and happiness beyond what is given to them. It's neither loud nor obnoxious which is good since it helps the audience pay attention to what is going on. There are moments of laughter, there are moments of true understanding of plight, and there are moments of sadness. The elements and characters in this story could be any one you know with out you knowing it (including yourself). If you want a low key night of nostalgia, a bit of retrospect, and a reminder that life is short and precious - this is a good movie for you.

I watched this movie when I was bored and I really didn't expect much, but this movie is emotional and inspiring. Chris Colfer's character is the typical teenager who believes that he can reach his biggest dreams, even though no one else believes he can. But what I find amazing about this movie is how real it is. They don't sugar-coat anything. The fact that his Mom doesn't believe he can achieve his dreams because hers were broken is such a typical thing that a parent would do. And I appreciate that the movie doesn't end with the cheesy cliché of him achieving his dreams and proving everyone wrong, but instead it ends with a tragic death and everyone suddenly realizing he was right. Because in reality, things don't always happen the way we want them to. I mean sure, the struck by lightning thing is kind of cheesy and random for a death, but I like the metaphor, of life hits you like you're being "struck by lightning". It was inspiring for people to go about achieving their dreams even when others say you can't, and to do it before it's too late. I liked the twist that they threw in that the pharmacist his Mom was going to happened to be the girl carrying her ex-husbands baby. But Chris Colfer's characters parents really bothered me. The Mom was so selfish by hiding his college acceptance letters from him, and his Dad was the typical dead-beat Father who only speaks to his son when absolutely necessary. And he continuously says "I can only say sorry so many times" because that's his defense mechanism and I feel bad for his new wife and future baby mama for even being involved with such a heartless man. I genuinely liked this movie, and it sure did surprise me. I didn't think I would care so much, and by the end it had me in tears. It's an incredible and inspiring story.

This movie was more than great. I can't really explain. It seemed strange in the beginning but then it all cleared. I'm a teenager myself and it's easy to feel what Criss want's me to feel. A quote from movie that really changed me, I think is "The thing i regret the most is waiting for life to begin". The reason why it made think a lot is because I do that. I wait for life begin. I don't live now, I wait say "when I get older I will..". But life is short and you can die in most unexpected ways ever. So from now on I will try to live and not wait for life to begin.This movie really changed me, I really think.
