Christina's Review- "Elizabethtown"


Yesterday, I went to see "Elizabethtown." Going into the movie I was not certain of what it was about, but I knew that I like Orlando Bloom as an actor, so I figured I would give it a shot. The movie was hard to follow at first, but most things explain themselves if you stick with it. I really enjoyed the music in the movie. It flowed well with the new age drama/romance genre of the film. Although the acting of Kirsten Dunst was not up to her usual par, I thought that the acting of the rest of the actors was very good. My only complaint from this movie was that Dunst fashioned a southern accent in some scenes of the film and then had her usual New Jersey accent in others. The director and writer of this film was Cameron Crowe, who also directed "Jerry Maguire," "Almost Famous," and "Vanilla Sky." In my opinion, Crowe's directing for the film paralleled that of his directing in the other famous films in that he brought out the emotions of the actors in unique ways. I really enjoyed the film and think that everyone who enjoyed "Jerry Maguire" or any of Crowe's other films would also enjoy it! Hope you all get a chance to see it!
