Movie Review

Cameron Crowe hasn't done many movies in his career, but almost all of them are noteworthy. From "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" (which he wrote but did not direct) to "Jerry Maguire" to "Almost Famous," his movies are undeniable classics in some sense or another, which means that expectations were running high for "Elizabethtown." Unfortunately, "Elizabethtown" failed both commercially and critically, but a critical failure for Crowe meant it "isn't as good as his other films." If you go to Rottentomatoes.com and read the negative reviews, most of them would leave a lesser-known director happy. It's not that "Elizabethtown" is bad; it's just that it never ascends to the place where most of Crowe's other works exist. Full movie review »

Wow... Now that I actually saw this movie I've got to say I'm disappointed in Orlando. This movie was so depressing. I mean Orlando actually tried to kill himself that really sucked. I'm sorry but who tries to kill themselves over shoes? No offense to my Orlando. But it was alright. Now I would give it a C- or a C no offense Orlando. He was a good Actor as usual and sexy but it was just depressing is all.

Well I had a good time with this film, it really made me happy I spent the money to go see it. Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst really had chemistry. So this is a must see.
