Vom Blitz getroffen

Struck by Lightning hit me hard, it touched me, made me laugh and left me relieved when it was finished. I have to say it was actually Rebel Wilson that made me want to watch this movie. She's as always hilarious no matter what she does. Chris Colfer is definitely one of the best young actors in Hollywood today and i think that the idea he had with Struck By Lightning came through in the end. Its about not standing back and not to let others push you around. To do everything you can to ensure your future (it is after all survival of the fittest). You won't be wasting your time...if you're into teen movies this is a must see. If they keep making movies like this I think there'll be a bright future ahead.

I must say, I expected completely different thing when I saw poster for this movie. However, it was not only better, but different than any other movie I watched recently. It shows how life is actually difficult for some teenagers, not those typical 'I am not prom queen, I'm so unpopular, nobody likes me, I want to get laid blah blah' stories. I really enjoyed acting, complete story is just amazing. I recommend everyone to see it, because it shows that there are far worse problems than wondering if you look good, or if you have boyfriend and other clichés that are mostly shown in teen movies. One more thing, previous review is obviously written by someone who does not appreciate Chris, and it is entirely wrong.

Struck By Lightning was perfect on all levels, I can't believe how much I related to Carson; he is definitely one of my new favourite fictional characters ever. As an aspiring author myself, this film was so inspiring for me in terms of writing, it's really made me want to get out there and achieve my goals and not end up in a terrible life that I don't like. This film, although with the unrealistic storyline, was still so realistic on so many levels and I think this will remain a lifelong favourite of mine. Chris is so talented on so many levels.

I cannot wait for this to be released on DVD in this country so I can keep it forever.

As a big fan of his television show, Glee, I immediately fell in love with Chris and his character there. I also, as well as Kurt Hummel, identify myself with Carson so much. I am so glad that I saw this film.

This really was a tremendous first writing effort by Chris Colfer. If this sample is representative of his writing talent then I sure we can look forward to many first rate scripts and stories in the future.

I can relate to the story setting, having grown up in a small town, small minded people living small minded lives seemingly in the Midwest. They are absolute stunned when a BIG MIND comes along. They don't know what to do with it, so they do their best to stomp it down. But this is one big mind that refused to be stomped.

I think the central character, Carson Phillips, touches the lives of all those around him in a positive way. I think their long term lives are enriched by it. But, small minds can only grow just so big. In the end, small minds remain small, and the one Big Mind that touched them all is gone. It's kind of a sad story.

I really enjoyed this movie and was captivated by it from beginning to end. Excellent performances by the full supporting cast.

Again, I think this is a sign that we can expect great things from Chris Colfer in the future. In my opinion, he is NO one trick pony. In this movie, I think he catches the outcast teenager's mind from fresh new perspective.

The movie is available on Amazon for Instant Streaming, and well worth a look by anyone who is not locked into standard generic Hollywood blockbuster fare.

This film wasn't what I was expecting - but still enjoyed it.

A warning - don't expect it to be like Glee, it won't leave you feeling uplifted at the end. Having seen the trailer and Rebel Wilson, I assumed this was going to be a comedy, but its actually quite tragic and sad - there are few laughs though.

It actually reminds me of the film 'Orange County' (with Colin Hanks and Jack Black). Carson like Hank's character is trying to escape his difficult family circumstances and go to college and then on to a successful career. Orange County is a little more light hearted though.

Its a good effort by Chris Colfer and out of all the Glee cast I can see him being the most successful. He could be another Ryan Murphy in the making - only nice.
