Elizabethtown

This movie received terrible reviews from the press, particularly for the acting. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, as I rarely agree with film critics.
Most people seem to either love the movie or really hate it. I haven’t read any luke warm reviews (even from the average Joe).
There were a few very strange scenes, particularly Drew’s mother’s (Susan Sarandon) speech at his father’s memorial. Parts of it were supposed to be funny, but I didn’t find the scene amusing at all.
The whole movie was the journey of one man from utter despair to hope; a challenge to see the silver lining of life.
One critic (who actually liked the film) said this:
"Cameron Crowe makes motion pictures about moments, not momentum. Maybe that’s why his films tend to annoy a select few in the world who can’t wrap their minds around screenplays that take pride in baring their optimistic soul."
I love it. : )
