Purely Joyful Movie!

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Cameron Crowe proved that he is able to create wonderful romantic comedies with his legendary film 'Say Anything' so in comparison to that I can see why critics were a bit snippy about his 2005 offering, because quite simply it's not as good.'Elizabethtown' is however when judged on its own merits a perfectly good film, and a darn sight better than most of the crude things that pass as 'romantic comedies' today.It's got a good message, and its heart in the right place. I know some hated Kirsten Dunst's character, but I personally loved her quirky humour.This is a far better film than many gave/continue to give it credit for.

This movie frustrated me soo much because the dialogue between the characters was complete and other nonsense!! It really was so self indulgent, pointless and annoying (unless you talk out of your ass all day.) It tries to be profound but fails miserably, its like a drunk person that wont stop talking crap,,,embarrassing. Audiences really deserve better. I was never really a fan of orlando Bloom, he hasn't shown much talent in a movie ever but I don't dislike him. I love kristen Dunst. Talent totally wasted.. I loved almost famous but I really will be very pessimistic about anything Cameron Crowe does if he can release garbage like this. And if you like this I really think you need to get a life, I normally don't write reviews but like someone who reviewed this already said it is a complete SHAME that this movie was made,

it has a lot of sins. too long, too ambitious, ambiguous, too confuse in many scenes, unrealistic. it has a lot of virtues. the cast, the music, the sensitive line of story, the humor and the poetic parts. short, it is a special film who choose its public in precise manner. far to be great or memorable, it represents an inspired mixture of lovely moments and nice meditation about the most important things from life.sure, the performances are not great and the two hours could be too much but that are only details. important is the romance in not bad package. and the result.who, maybe, is not seductive at all,but it is a good soup for few souls. that could be all.

Elizabethtown starts out with Drew getting fired from his job because of his design of a shoe that turns out to be flawed (basically destroying the company he works for), and his current girlfriend ends their relationship (typical). He ends up almost committing suicide, but fortunately that doesn't happen, and he goes to Elizabethtown because his father passed away. On the way to Elizabethtown he meets outgoing and adventurous stewardess Claire, who bumps him up to first class and in turn they develop a friendship that eventually leads to a romance. Drew brings his father's favourite blue suit with him as requested but much to everyone's chagrin he has his father cremated according to his mother's wishes, and tries to recant, but by then it is too late. Drew ends up going on a road trip adventure (which is probably why I love this movie so much) which heals his heart.
