Review of Elizabethtown (2005) by Giano P — 05 Jan 2010
Hmmmmm. Orlando Bloom is a disgraced shoe-designer who having lost his company millions ("round up to a billion") is one moment away from killing himself. Unfortunately for him, a family fatality takes him away to a quaint little southern town where en route he meets a crazy, full-of-life stewardess played by Kirsten Dunst.
Everything you have probably worked out already, happened. This film is quite expected. It reminds me of Garden State, except with far too many shallow characters and out of place crazy humour.
Kirsten Dunst is annoying. She isn't written as quaint and odd (as she should be) more.. so annoying you want to slam her head onto a desk.
It is too clever with its heartstring pulling, being too keen and over doing it. As such it does have some heartwarming moments but, for example, the ending lasts waaaaaaaaay too long.
