Staring thoughtfully into the middle distance, Ms. Sobieski looks as if she is already contemplating better scripts.

Elvis Mitchell, New York Times
Rotten

If you haven't seen Klein's charming dodo-head athlete in Election or Sobieski's sympathetic hooker in Eyes Wide Shut, you won't know just how ignominiously both have fallen in Here on Earth.

Jan Stuart, Newsday
Rotten

Three appealing performers are lumbered with material that doesn't measure up to them in Here on Earth.

Jay Carr, Boston Globe
Rotten

For a movie about the ferocity of first love, it seems curiously pallid and passionless.

Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
Rotten

Lazily conceived characters.

Desson Thomson, Washington Post
