Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
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.
Three appealing performers are lumbered with material that doesn't measure up to them in Here on Earth.
For a movie about the ferocity of first love, it seems curiously pallid and passionless.
Lazily conceived characters.
