Kelley Morse (Chris Klein), who is cocky and brash, normally would never have crossed paths with the residents of a small town near his posh private school. But when he races his new car against a local boy and destroys a diner, he is sentenced to rebuild the diner and falls in love with the owner's daughter (Leelee Sobieski).
Here on Earth

What to Know

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.

Here on Earth does what it can to flatten the ascending careers of its attractive leads, yet Chris Klein and Leelee Sobieski probably will live to see another big-screen day. Go to Full Review

Finn W Apr 16, 2017 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. See more
