Review For Struck by Lightning |
Colfer is still very young, but he needs to learn that "snide" is not a point of view. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger
Ultimately, it all portends a much brighter future for Colfer than for Carson. Sara Stewart-New York Post
If only "Struck by Lightning" had a sharper, stronger perspective, it might have made more of its conceit. Mark Olsen-Los Angeles Times
Except for Ms. Janney's monstrous mother and an Alzheimer's-afflicted grandmother (Polly Bergen), "Struck by Lightning" gives its characters no dimension. Stephen Holden-New York Times
There isn't much to say about Struck by Lightning, except that it's one of those interchangeable teen movies that lands in theaters in early January, the morgue for films nobody knows what to do with. Ella Taylor-NPR
In his screenwriting debut, Glee's gifted Chris Colfer, 22, proves he can lace a line with sass and soul. Peter Travers-Rolling Stone
The main character is more off-putting than endearing. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
Edgy high school comedy from Glee star has some iffy stuff Sandie Angulo Chen-Common Sense Media
Struck By Lightning possesses a jarring mixture of tones, with moments of dark comedy sitting somewhat uneasily alongside scenes of quiet domestic drama. Ethan Alter-Television Without Pity
It's not exactly ambitious, but Struck by Lightning is a noble failure, with individual elements more interesting than the strangled, distracted whole. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com
A subpar dark comedy almost saved by a knockout performance from Allison Janney. Chase Whale-Twitch
Lightning is a funny, fast-moving movie, packed with barbed one-liners, goofy hyperbole, and all the oversized exasperation of teen angst. But it's too acid, particularly where Colfer is concerned. Tasha Robinson-AV Club
All but the hard-core Colferphiles slink out embarrassed, feeling as confused and discombobulated as if they too just took an electric bolt to the brain. David Fear-Time Out New York
"Glee" favorite Chris Colfer wrote and stars in this particularly self-serving vehicle, the narcissism of which impedes the fun. David Noh-Film Journal International
A decidedly uncertain step into feature films from an actor with a long career ahead of him. Marc Mohan-Oregonian
