Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Every once in a while, a movie transports you to a place where heart, humor, music and an unforgettable story meet. Welcome to Elizabethtown.

From Oscar winner Cameron Crowe (2000 Best Original Screenplay, Almost Famous) comes this life-affirming, heartfelt story of Drew Baylor (Orlando Bloom), a hot-shot designer whose life becomes completely unraveled on one fateful day.

En route to Elizabethtown to visit his family, Drew meets Claire (Kirsten Dunst). She's beautiful, has an unstoppably positive nature, and she has decided to be just the gal to guide Drew on his journey back home and to teach him what it means to live and love along the way.

Review:

"Elizabethtown is nowhere near one of Crowe's great films (like Almost Famous), but it is sweet and good-hearted and has some real laughs." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Review:

"The trailer for Elizabethtown hits on every major plot point in the film and is roughly 121 minutes shorter. See that instead." Houston Chronicle

Review:

"Leaves one adrift on a raft of morose questions. How could this vacuous movie have got made? Didn't anyone at Paramount, which paid for the film, read the script? And also: What in the world has happened to Cameron Crowe?" David Denby, The New Yorker

Review:

"Lacks the narrative drive one finds in the classic comedies of Preston Sturges, Frank Capra and Billy Wilder, whom Crowe always seems to try to emulate." Variety

Review:

"Crowe's elegy to mourning could have benefited from more condensed storytelling. Tip: Now that it's on DVD, fast-forward through the more laborious sequences (especially the needlessly drawn-out roadtrip ending). (Grade: C+)" Entertainment Weekly

Review:

"Cameron Crowe's romantic comedy Elizabethtown is a mess, but it's such an amiable, bighearted mess that it manages to remain entertaining even as it's going hopelessly astray." Detroit Free Press

Review:

"What ends up on screen is a jumbled, if good-natured, mess." USA Today
