Elizabethtown ---- A film about love, loss, and life; Starring Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst

by three_ster three_ster is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Oct 17 '05
Pros: Bloom and Dunst, Very Strong Character Development, Funny and Serious at the same time, Writing
Cons: absolutely none
Sometimes it takes the right kind of film to show off a culture. To help provide us with something that we didn't even know we were missing, and at the same time open our eyes to what is around us. Elizabethtown is one of those films, as it ...

Almost Infamous

by pmills1210 pmills1210 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 18 '05
Pros: Bloom, Dunst, Sarandon, Baldwin, Crowe's script
Cons: Ending is a little bit far-fetched
Elizabethtown is a movie about death, and life after death. Orlando Bloom stars as Drew Baylor, a designer for Mercury Shoes, an Oregon corporation run by Phil DeVoss (Alec Baldwin). Drew's big project is a shoe called the Spasmodic, one he thinks ...

Elizabethtown ... a case of what could have been...

by captaind captaind is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Nov 18 '05
Pros: Most of the performances, some wonderful moments...
Cons: ... Dunst's character is annoying throughout, meandering script
Elizabethtown stars Orlando Bloom as Drew Baylor, a young shoe designer whose world has just completely fallen apart. Not only is his much heralded new design concept about to become the biggest flop (not flip-flop, I might add) in the shoe world ...

Succeeding At Failure: Elizabethtown (2005)

by flamepillar Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Oct 15 '05
Pros: Look at all the profound wisdom!
Cons: Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.
Conversations just get weirder and weirder in the lovey-dovey movies these days. It seems to be the flavor of the decade to set up a bunch of characters, have them go around and talk about nothing, and have somebody "sorta" fall in love at the end. ...

Elizabethtown is not Crowe's best, but it is worth seeing

by phungus phungus is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Nov 01 '05
Pros: Bloom and Dunst are great together
Cons: The two major plot lines don't mesh well
Elizabethtown is the latest movie from writer/director Cameron Crowe, the man behind such beloved films as Singles, Almost Famous, and Jerry Maguire. It stars Orlando Bloom, Kirsten Dunst, Susan Sarandon, and there is a cameo ...

Nothing to Crowe About

by bilavideo bilavideo is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Oct 28 '05
Pros: pretty pictures, good performances, some creative plot twists, good soundtrack
Cons: mostly predictable mush, feels like a phone commercial, muddy issues
Wow. I feel like the guy who doesn't like ice cream. I'm a big fan of Cameron Crowe (I even liked Vanilla Sky) but this is the kind of film talented people make - after everybody has discovered how talented they are - and then get praised for shooting ...

Elizabethtown: Not a Bad Way to Spend a Couple of Hours

by chelledun Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Oct 16 '05
Pros: Enjoyable characters, nice music background, made me both happy and sad
Cons: Slow-moving, drags at the beginning particularly
Elizabethtown isn’t the type of movie I typically go to see in the theaters, but Mom wanted to see it so I agreed to give it a try. Although this film has gotten less than stellar reviews, something about it drew me in and I ended up enjoying ...

Death Reminds Us To Smell The Roses

by MARIEROY Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Feb 11 '06
Pros: Exceptional story, exceptional acting that will have you appreciate life.
Cons: A bit long.
Elizabethtown This was an exceptionally long movie. Yet, the characters Orlando Bloom as Drew Baylor, Kirsten Dunst as Claire Colburn, and Susan Sarandon as the “Widow Baylor” among others presented a movie that most I think will enjoy, ...

Elizabethtown...It's a romantic Almost Famous - That's a good thing

by joshg2fl , Mar 15 '06
Pros: Snapshots of the memories of life.
Cons: It gets off to a choppy start in my book.
Quentin Terrentino, Cameron Crowe, and Wes Anderson. I guess these guys understand soundtracks about as well as anyone. Sometimes a movie needs a little nudge. You need a little boost to make your scene escape its ordinariness. Or, maybe you need ...

Most appealing female character since Holly Golightly!

by gaviidae , Mar 19 '06
Pros: The charm of Dunst, the effective direction of Crowe
Cons: The passive Bloom gets boring at times
Several decades ago Audrey Hepburn charmed the world as Holly Golightly in "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Now Kirsten Dunst does the same as the irrepressible Claire Colburne in "Elizabethtown." The movie is really about Drew Baylor (Orlando ...

Cameron Crowe Can't Cut A Break From My Critiques

by wlswarts Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 25 '07
Pros: One or two random lines, Overall concept
Cons: PACING, Execution of concept, acting, Characters
You know how when you hear a new word, you start to hear it everywhere? There's no word in English for that outside "coincidence" and that does not adequately describe the phenomenon. It's one of those quirks of random existence. Recently, I reviewed ...

Strangely detached from the story of my life.

by casualsuede , Aug 28 '06
Pros: The music, the roadtrip
Cons: The secondary characters, the structure of the movie, seemed too long.
Claire Colburn is the woman which geeks fantasize about. She is their perfect woman. Not Pam Anderson, not Jessica Simpson. They are the perfect one night stand; Claire is the perfect life companion. Not because she is beautiful, sexy and available, ...

Ignore the bad reviews, this is what it's all about!

by djbegins , Oct 21 '05
Pros: Wonderful! A joy too watch. Kirsten Dunst in perfection. Great direction.
Cons: Sits on a tight rope of realism/hard to believe all the way through..
I've pretty much been waiting for this one now for four years. Cameron Crowe, the Director- is someone who's work I love. To me; 'Say Anything', 'Singles', 'Almost Famous', 'Jerry Maguire' and 'Vanilla Sky' are all masterpieces. 'Vanilla Sky' was four ...

Am I insane...

by lch3778 , Oct 16 '05
Pros: Cameron Crowe, Kirsten Dunst, Orlando Bloom...everything...
Cons: You need to suspend your disbelief...
You may be wondering why I titled my review, "Am I insane...". I ask this question because I have to wonder what movie I saw compared to the one that most of the critics I've read saw. Currently Elizabethtown is rating at 31% on the ...

Any fool can accomplish failure ...

by selivia , Feb 05 '06
Pros: Orlando Bloom, Kirsten Dunst, Cameron Crowe
Cons: First glance appearance of being two films hinged loosely together
... and Cameron Crowe is no fool. Again, the critics and pre-release reviewers were against Orlando Bloom taking the role and, heaven forbid, playing an American. In focusing on what must be an eventual failure, they miss the many subtle levels of the ...
