Good Story Poorly Presented

I appreciate what I think Crowe was trying to accomplish here with Elizabethtown, but through a combination of missteps it falls very short. In general I like both Bloom and Dunst but feel they are both a bit miscast and present these interestingly written characters poorly. Neither quite succeeds. I very badly wanted to final road trip portion of the film to be great and to be moved by it, but alas it just rung hollow to me and I was not able to connect with it. Sure there were some nice elements and moments here, but overall it just seemed to drag on for far too long.

Enjoyed the movie but...

Enjoyed the movie but wonder what a shoe designer has to do with a product recall. There would be prototypes developed and significant testing conducted before a company invested a billion dollars in production of a shoe designed by anyone, much less someone who was hired from a national scholarship program...
