Zac Efron Is a Man Now, and He Is Upset
Here's a trailer for Charlie St. Cloud, a Zac Efron weeper about a sexy sailor boi with a dead little brother and a major case of sexy sailor girl boner. It's not Nicholas Sparks, but it might as well be!
The movie, based on the 2004 novel The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud, is Efron's first big dramatic role, if you don't count a) the wistful, slight Richard Linklater picture Me & Orson Welles or b) Efron's beautiful desert moan-walk in High School Musical 2. There's lots of supernatural schmaltz and rain and, mayyyyyybe, some Zac Efron doggin' it with that girl. Which is another mature step for him. Plus there's drinking! Wow, they movie-grow up so fast, don't they?
