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. This is annoying from the get-go. There isn't a single real or likable character in the entire film. They're all caricatures, as Mr. Colpher himself professes. Rebel Wilson has great comedic potential and I was looking forward to comedic relief in an otherwise unfunny black comedy but she's wasted talent here. Not one line of dialogue in the film rings true and I'd be disappointed if a film like this inspires teens. Unless of course it inspires them to blackmail their entire class into submission. I'd be okay with that. Not really...
