spoiler spoiler here on earth or ( 2000 ) half ( out of four ) mark piznarski here on earth hold the record for a movie contain the most recycled material in 96 minute . literally every contrivance and cliché and and familiar plot element be somewhere in here while there be simply nothing unique and original and or fresh about it . god and what an agonizing motion picture to sit through while i wish i saw the film during it theatrical release last year so it could have earn on my year worst list . this be the kind of movie where the story make itself instantly obvious and and go downhill from the opening credit and and bad of all and take itself seriously . here on earth be clearly one of the most horrible and painful movie to come down the pike in some time . here on earth be a teen heartthrob film and so it must contain some of hollywood most prized young men who be attractive and inexperienced enough to accept a role in a movie as bad a this . chris klein and josh hartnett fit that vary description and and take the lead role by storm . klein play kelley and an arrogant and insolent student with a wealthy father ( cliché number one ) . he be to graduate a the valedictorian and attend ivy league college follow in the footstep of his father ( stuart wilson ) . this set up the i do not want your life and cliché in which the father try to control his son life and while the son resist rebelliously . throw in kelley decease mother who commit suicide a while back . when his father bring home another woman and he brutally question his intention ( the no one can replace mom cliché count a number two ) . josh hartnett play jasper and a character on the opposite side of society to kelley . his family own a local diner . enter his long time love interest and samantha cavanaugh ( leelee sobieski ) a waitress at the diner who cover for her sister ( who have no purpose whatsoever rather than control the following scene ) when jasper and kelley act like childish moron by race their car and ( oh no ) crash into the diner and cause it to erupt into flame . ( conflict between the rich and poor will count a cliché number three . ) the bungle car chase set both kelley and jasper up for a contrived and plausible conflict . they get in trouble with the law and but because this movie feel the need to exist and the local judge order them an alternative to serve time represent they must work together to help rebuild the diner . the two boy work hard during the summer grow strong and get a nice tan . samantha eye catch kelley and and romantic spark fly . jasper be jealous and but want what be best for his true love ( cliché number four ) . her parent ( annette otoole and bruce greenwood ) disapprove of her little romantic triangle ( cliché number five ) and but she continue two timing jasper without a second thought . her father also happen to be the local sheriff and how surprising ( let count that melodramatic nugget cliché number six ) . the contrived romantic feeling between kelley and samantha count a cliché number seven . but samantha relationship with jasper be never define and so how can there any romantic tension . if the film be go to induce involvement in samantha choice between the two young men and then we need to see both character from both side . the movie depict jasper a a distraction to her rightful love and kelley . it clear jasper truly love her and but it be also clear she do not love him back . this absolutely slaughter the romantic tension early in the story . leelee sobieski do no harm here while however and her charm and kind performance do not fit a two timing character like samantha . john hartnett be also right for the role of jasper and but the movie give him nothing to do except bicker with kelley . chris klein get to make a hunk name for himself here while he spend much of the movie shirtless and sweaty and overwork . unfortunately he do not show off his act ability and maybe because he have very little . the support cast be much more talented . bruce greenwood supply the best performance in the film and but do not have near enough screen time to save anything but a few brief moment . i also enjoy the performance by stuart wilson and who perfectly fit the role of a rich and control father of high social status . then we lean about samantha knee problem exactly one hour and ten minute into the movie ( another spoiler ahead ) . what be this and she have a serious incurable illness ( yet another contrivance into the picture and approximately number eight ) . her terminal disease bring the two compete young men together a friend and well and at least i think that be what the movie intend to show and that the loss of one love by two nemesis can bring both together ( cliché number nine ) . klein rehearse his valedictorian speech to demonstrate his character be more than a shallow stereotype and but we have see this so many time before i would prefer a rich character rather than a deeply sentimental who hide actual feeling ( cliché number and um and be it ten ) . the conflict between kelley and jasper be desperate and inane while a your mom comment trigger a fist fight while they rebuild the establishment . there be a retread from armageddon and a samantha and kelley sprawl out in an open field and horny a hell and a he slowly move his finger around her body and name area after u city ( why not call that number eleven ) . the movie use alcohol a a mean to increase the romantic tension represent an intoxicated kelley make a fool of himself after get in a fight with samantha date and jasper and but the following day he recite desire only to dance ( cliché number and oh no and i be lose count ) .
