Elizabethtown (2005)
Cast: Orlando Bloom (Drew Baylor), Kirsten Dunst (Claire Colburn), Susan Sarandon (Hollie Baylor), Alec Baldwin (Phil DeVoss)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's Elizabethtown page.
The soundtrack alone is worth watching Elizabethtown. Cameron Crowe did a great job selecting music, as always. His story telling in this one wasn't as great as some of his others, but it's still a very sweet story about a young man who's having a lot of problems in his life who finds exactly the right girl on the way to his father's memorial with the family they've been estranged from for years.
I always enjoy Kirsten Dunst and Orlando Bloom and Elizabethtown was no exception. I'm not sure I'd recommend seeing it in the theater like I did, but it's definitely worth renting! There are no special effects, so you won't miss anything on the smaller screen.
I know the reviews trash this movie, but I thought it was a great story with a wonderful soundtrack and definitely recommend it.
