REVIEW: STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
5/19/13
High school senior Carson Phillips (Chris Colfer, Glee) was destined for bigger things than his close-minded small town could ever offer. He was on a path to greatness, but destiny had a different plan when he was suddenly killed by a bolt of lightning in his school parking
lot.
Demonstrating that life is what happens while you’re busy planning your future, Carson recounts the last few weeks of his life via witty, insightful flashbacks, including a blackmail scheme targeting the popular kids in school that he concocts with his best friend (Rebel Wilson, Pitch Perfect ), a home life that includes a mother (Allison Janney, Juno, The West Wing) who’s more interested in the bottle than her son’s future, and an estranged father (Dermot Mulroney, New Girl, My Best Friend’s Wedding) who suddenly appears with a pregnant fiancée (Christina Hendricks, Mad
Men).
Following a theatrical and digital release in January 2013, STRUCK BY LIGHTNING releases May 21 on Blu-ray and DVD from Cinedigm and Tribeca Film. The film also stars Sarah Hyland (Modern Family), Angela Kinsey (The Office), Ashley Rickards (Awkward.) and Polly Bergen (Cry-baby). A companion book written by Colfer, Struck by Lightning: The Carson Phillips Journal, debuted in November 2012.
