Review of Elizabethtown (2005) by Justinb. — 27 Oct 2005
The soundtrack to Elizabehtown is excellent, coming from a masterful director and even producer Cameron Crowe. Theres Tom Petty, a track from Nancy Wilson, and My Morning Jacket, all lending that taste of Americana.
The movies theme Same in Any Language is very heartwarming. But the soundtrack does not jive with the actual film (for the very first time in a Crowe film. Music and film critics sang high praises for Crowes 2000 endeavor Almost Famous).
The film is good at the beginning but goes tiresome in the middle and goes annoying in the end (the tap dance performed by badly miscast Susan Sarandon is supposed to elicit poignancy and hope after a loss.
