Review of Elizabethtown (2005) by Alysia V — 19 Apr 2009

I've know seen this movie probably about 5 or 6 times and I still absolutely ADORE it! Though I'm not typically a fan of Kirsten Dunst, she was simply adorable in this movie. I love her quirky, care-free, happy personality in this film and she makes me want to be her friend! The relationship between her and Orlando Bloom's character is completely precious and sweet.

I love when they're on the phone all night, because I think most of us have all experienced that all-night phone call with someone very special. It's very relateable. And what she does for him by making that map/scrapbook that routes out his roadtrip for him is amazing.

So creative and awesome! I want someone that does that for me! And I so agree with her, that everyone needs to take a long road trip, at least once in their life. I'm big on road trips and love them, which is probably one reason why I adore this film so much.

Love when she says, "some music needs air...roll down the windows."--I couldn't agree more. And when Orlando is in the car, sort of going through a whirlwind of emotions, laughing then crying then raising his arms in the air-I have SO done that.

There's something about being on the road alone...it brings out these hidden emotions that are deep within you and just releases them all-it's amazing. So, once again, I could so relate to this movie.

This movie also makes me fall in love all over again with the South. I truly do love the South. And Paul Schneider was a great addition to this flick-I love his character and the musical side that he brings.

All-around one of my favorite movies. It just warms my heart immensely everytime I watch it.
