Critics Consensus

Critics say Here on Earth's weakness comes from its script. The story may appeal to young teenage girls, but it suffers from being overly sentimental and formulaic. The cinematography, however, is lovely in how it captures its Minnesota setting.

The cast do a good job but the story is poor melodrama.

What on Earth would have been a better title. Sweet Jesus. This was a terrible film. Pretty strong leading cast, "mates" that all looked the same, nice camerawork .. and a god awful story. Truly terrible. She falls for the rich block cause .. literally no idea.

Possibly the most frustrating movie I've ever seen. Even the trailer sucks. Why would anyone go see this after seeing the preview!? I got dragged kicking and screaming into it by my stupid ex girlfriend and may as well have had to get carried out in a body bag... I wanted to die after seeing this.

Like a more forgettable variation of A Walk To Remember, except with a gas bar/diner exploding into flames and the female protagonist inexplicably choosing a pretentious rich kid over a likeable country boy.
