Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
chandugayan This is the kinda movie that keeps you wondering on the worst of days such a beautiful message is passed on for workaholics i mean people don't realize their life passing by so soon unless someone is gone for ever. this movie reminds it's viewers the sole purpose of literally doing anything which is to lead a happy life acting was great there were really touching moments maybe that's why it made me so emotional and happy at the same time....definitely worth watching
Praveen Kumar I had no expectations for this movie. I was bored and i wanted to watch a nice movie. Though the reviews were not that great, i decided to go for it.In my opinion, this is one of the best movies if you are at a crossroads of your life. Probably one of the most under-rated films ever.Storywise nothing great but the acting by the lead actors and the way the story has been taken is good.Watch it.
sutton-david15 There is a great sucking sound as young corporate player Drew Baylor (Orlando Bloom) realizes he is going to get fired. His mega company gave him carte blanche as a wiz kid to go ahead with a sneaker idea that are foot Edsels and he loses his company millions. Fired , his ingenious attempt at suicide fails in a Buster Keaton silent movie type way (Buster jumped into a six- inch lake and it was tragically funny) but here the joke is a mechanical knife that goes limp at the critical moment. To add insult to injury Drew's long lost father dies; Drew's family phones and pleads for him to take care of funeral arrangements. Nary a tear is shed as Drew dutifully books a flight to small Elizabethtown via Lu'ville, Kentucky. As he is in the air, flight attendant (or angel?) Claire's (Kirsten Dunst) mouth twists in amusement as she sees him as the only passenger in coach and cajoles him to move up to first class to save her tootsies wear and tear, while her eyes make merry snapshots of life's piquant moments. At deboarding she awards him "wings" along with her phone number and some great driving instructions which he intends to ignore. He soon gets royally lost in Kentucky and calls upon her, and slowly realizes that she is infusing energy into him with her Cheshire cat like grin which she uses to baffle all detractors. Here the plot nose dives as if a seven- forty- seven full of Southern family members all crash in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, and everyone is walking around in a numb daze while the story tries to catch up with the tragedy of not having much of a third act; but never mind, the story is the journey.
AsifZamir Elizabethtown starts out with Drew getting fired from his job because of his design of a shoe that turns out to be flawed (basically destroying the company he works for), and his current girlfriend ends their relationship (typical). He ends up almost committing suicide, but fortunately that doesn't happen, and he goes to Elizabethtown because his father passed away. On the way to Elizabethtown he meets outgoing and adventurous stewardess Claire, who bumps him up to first class and in turn they develop a friendship that eventually leads to a romance. Drew brings his father's favourite blue suit with him as requested but much to everyone's chagrin he has his father cremated according to his mother's wishes, and tries to recant, but by then it is too late. Drew ends up going on a road trip adventure (which is probably why I love this movie so much) which heals his heart.
