Charlie St Cloud (2010)

Zac Efron plays a man who watches his kid brother die before his eyes in a sailing accident, then sees his dead brother everywhere he goes. All the time.

I bet that has to be really depressing. Maybe there is an opening in the depressing date movie market I haven't heard of.

The result on screen is far better than it sounds. We put it to Mr Efron pushing the limits of his acting ability and the direction of Burr Steers, the ever talented nephew of Gore Vidal.
