Elizabethtown

I just want to say that i went into this film with my heart open and ready to fall in love with everything Cameron Crowe was ready to throw at me. Two very long hours later all i had in my heart was anger and hate. I must admit that it wasn't that bad straight after the movie but the more i talked about it the more i hated it.

They main reason i loathed this film was that it just seemed a sub par rip off of a movie that came out last year called Garden State. Now it was pretty much the same story, which i dont have a problem cause i know that there isn't a million different stories out there and you can have the same story as long as you tell it in your own way. The problem with Craptown (by the way thats what im calling Elizabetown) was that the whole thing seems like sub-par mirror image of Garden State. There was lots of bit in the film that just seem to close to Garden State to make this film feel original.

The other thing i hated was Orlando Bloom. Now i know hate is a strong word and i did like him as a Elf in Lord of the Rings, however in a drama he falls way short of being able to hold up a whole film by himself. The main problem was that he seemed to have know emotion in his face. I couldnt tell if he was happy or sad or what it was very hard to watch him in this film.

The problems with this film is too much of a heavy burrden for this film. Weak story that didn't seem to go anywhere and bad acting like you've never seen before. I have to say that Elizabethtown deserves its...

Thumbs down
