DVD | Elizabethtown

What starts out as being a neurotic quirky love story turns into something heart-warming and real. Elizabethtown is far from your usual gushy romantic comedy – in fact it has some rather interesting things to say about our consumer based economy – but even though it does break the stereotypes, it also manages to stay somewhat true to it’s genre.
Drew (Orlando Bloom) is a hot-shot shoe designer, but when his latest design fails on a massive scale, causing his company to loose almost a billion dollars, the only thing he can think off is suicide.

Then he gets a phone call from home – his dad has died, and he needs to go sort out the mess. Along the way he meets Claire (Kirsten Dunst) whose stalker mentality finally breaks through Drew’s walls and allows him to take a fresh look at his life and what he bases his worth on.

An insightful, uplifting if somewhat quirky movie.
