Oh man this is garbage. I can't like it.

(Plot) Carson dies rather suddenly one day when he is struck by lightning. He decides to recount his life, and tell the tale of how he blackmailed his classmates into writing for his literary magazine.

Carson Phillips (Chris Colfer) is a high school agitator. He runs the school newspaper where nobody other than him has submitted any stories.

The only thing I did not like about this movie, was the cover. Really?

Struck by lightning is a film about hopes and dreams. I was a lot like Carson Philips in high school myself I have still not achieved my dreams but I will never give up trying to achieve them.

I found nothing about this movie enjoyable and am baffled at those who rated it so highly. None of the characters had any redeeming qualities and it was impossible to identify with them.

Almost every aspect of Struck by Lightning infuriated me. Chris Colpher is a kid wise beyond his years who likes to spout cynical and philosophical dialogue every chance he gets.

I remember seeing the commercial for this show when I was a little kid.I remember something like this: Jack Elam is standing there with smoke coming out of him, when someone asks him, "What happened?

This film tells the story of a young man in high school, who has set his sight at a certain university to do a specific programming. On order to increase his chances of getting in, he has to use everything he knows of to get people to contribute essays for his newly created literary magazine.
