Tony Toscano reviews “Charlie St. Cloud”

Let me begin by saying I have a place in my heart for a good sentimental love story. But “Charlie St. Cloud” isn’t one.

The film continuously hovers between being a sappy romance and a ghost story, but successfully never accomplishes either.

Unfortunately caught in between all this is Zac Effron, who is desperately trying to break out of his “High School Musical” persona and bite into meatier parts.

Effron is actually a good actor, but like a lot of good actors at the beginning of their careers, the parts offered them aren’t always good. Hopefully Effron will have better luck next time.

“Charlie St. Cloud” gets a D and is rated PG-13.
