I haven't seen this movie yet. Elizabethtown is only about 30-35 miles from where I live. I don't care much about the plot or the actors, but would love to watch it to see what parts of Elizabethtown (and other nearby areas) they show in the movie and to see how much they talk about it.

I live a half hour southwest of Elizabethtown and I go to college there as well.

Oh, god, Marland, it was! It was *SO* bad!

- The voice overs that could have been explained in one look.

- The reptitiveness

- The awkward dialogue and scenes.

- Some of the shots and the directing was just downright ANNOYING!

- The way the songs would just pick up and change during the road trip montage was just....akward.

- The way he carried his dad around in the urn was downright creepy. And not to mention, he just left the dad there in the one scene.

- They montaged over the two main characters getting to know each other...WHY WHY WHY would they do that? That's kind of ESSENTIAL!

- The Garden State rip offs: I counted 5. But there could be more.

- The out of the blue and cliche ending which I guess could count as Garden State reference #6, which I also did not like about Garden State (even though it's one of my favs.)

- Kirsten Dunst was SOOOOOO annoying. Her fake accent was TERRRRRIBLE!

- I thought Orlando Bloom bit!

- The numerous subplots that never went *ANYWHERE*

My friend saw it and said she totally regretted it, and it was a load of crap.

I asked her why she didn't walk out, and she said it was because she didn't want her money to go in vain...that and she snuck into another theater.

Also, according to her, because of the movie, Orlando Bloom has "severely plummeted on the hot-o-meter".

I'll take everyone's word for it and conclude that it must've sucked more than a Hoover.

    • I'm curious the motivation for keeping Bela on beyond the circus story arc.  Did he play a character like his character on EON, or was he more of a good guy? I know he ended up with Sunny at the end of the series, but I always thought that Sunny/Hogan could have been revived once the lack of chemistry between him and the NuLiza became apparent.   Actually... the NuLiza (Louan Gideon) reminded me more of Sunny than she did Liza as played by Sherry... and she just threw off the whole vibe of the show. I see Estelle has just arrived in the late October 1985 episodes, which only means that Wendy and Stephanie are soon on their way out.   It also appears that the Sarah/Quinn/Wendy triangle was set up by Mayer.. and it looks as though Tomlin is going to deactivate it by the introduction of Colleen Dion's character.   I don't understand why no one on the show thought to look at Quinn and realize that he was the problem and write him out.

    • I kind of assume they're toning down Rachel's bad seed tendencies a bit to make it less obvious if they're going for her as the shooter. At least that's what I hope they're doing - I've really enjoyed Rachel being a bratty evil DiMera princess and Marlena finally getting a grandchild she deserves.

      . This show is so stupid. Sonny killed an FBI agent less than a year ago by shooting him at point blank range. But the new short bald man is much much worse cause he was a bad guy in some part of Africa and managed to not kill Lucky, Isaiah, Jason, or Anna. This show is crippled by the mob all these years after Guza has been long gone.    Laura is literally saying oooo but Sonny is a good mobster for Port Charles. Give me a [!@#$%^&*].ing break. Sometimes I don’t know why I watch this joke of a show.
    • With all the changes Sunny was one of the longest running characters by that time.  She had never been married and had heaps of story potential. I can see America getting with SFT -you know 'the circus soap'. Smart move because circuses were all the rage with the kids in the 80's. Maybe Stu and Jo could have bought the circus.
    • It is actually pathetic, that Victor’s 50 year old children are still written as scared of this man that has to sit in every scene. I get it, EB has been on the show for almost 50 years, but I don’t care. He’s a man in his 80’s and should not be the damn lead and driving force because you don’t want to upset Eric Braeden ‘s fragile ego that only exists because the writers have cowtowed to this man for so long.
    • PREACH Victor being written as he was 20 years ago to support EB's ego or some misguided belief that what worked decades ago is still relevant is destroying the show. Victor comes off as a rambling old fool holding on to vendettas and a desperate need for perceived power. His children still cow-towing to him makes them look equally foolish. If the writing portrayed Victor as  more of an irritant to them then maybe it would work.
    • They desperately need another meeting spot that isn’t Orphy Genes or the Country club. Y&R is awful now but there’s at least GCAC, Crimson Lights, Society, and the Jazz room at GCAC to meet at. 4 places is definitely better than 2 and I can’t imagine these rich folks literally only eat at their damn country club.
