Ultimately, it all portends a much brighter future for Colfer than for Carson.

If only "Struck by Lightning" had a sharper, stronger perspective, it might have made more of its conceit.
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Except for Ms. Janney's monstrous mother and an Alzheimer's-afflicted grandmother (Polly Bergen), "Struck by Lightning" gives its characters no dimension.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Rotten
There isn't much to say about Struck by Lightning, except that it's one of those interchangeable teen movies that lands in theaters in early January, the morgue for films nobody knows what to do with.
