Review of Elizabethtown (2005) by Jeremyw. — 14 Dec 2005
Ultimately, "Elizabethtown" is a good little movie trapped inside a bigger, much contrived mess of a film. Too much is going on during scenes that don't necessarily advance the plot, while there are basically three different movies masquerading and trying their best to be one cohesive film.
It's enjoyable to the extent that not only does it want to be liked, it tries its hardest to be good despite its rather obvious shortcomings. While their chemistry is not electric, Bloom and Dunst have scenes that are pretty well done, and could've led to a more organized, sweet, offbeat little romantic comedy.
Instead, Crowe's ego...and ambition...get in the way.
