elizabethtown

A word of advice: do NOT go see the movie "Elizabethtown." A friend and I went yesterday and it was quite possibly the worst movie ever. NO, wait, that was "The Banger Sisters," which coinicidentally also had Susan Sarandon in it.

I'd read the bad reviews for Elizabethtown but went anway because I am a huge Cameron Crowe fan. Sadly, the reviews were right.

The movie is just a big, muddled mess, with great little moments here and there that never add up to a story. And Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst have about as much screen chemistry as Mr and Mrs Potato Head. They are both nice to look at, though.

The story made NO sense. Things happened in ways and at times that they simply could not happen in real life, which is a problem given that the movie is supposed to be about real people in the here and now.

I didn't even like the soundtrack that much, although that's ususally one of the best things about a Cameron Crowe movie.
