Well, i liked the movie overall. However, there were some flaws but it was good.

great review, i love it. strangely enough the song evokes the exact same thing for me. a sense of emptiness and longing for that something and someone left behind and the time wasted by being apart.

You didn't think Crowe was capable of making a bad movie? Did you see “Vanilla Sky?”

I didn't think Cameron Crowe was capable of making a bad movie. Then Elizabethtown came along. Zzzzzz. I should have sensed trouble when they cast Paula Deen in the movie.

“…it fills me with an overwhelming sense of loneliness.”

Well, at least you threw me a little “mope” to chew on.

I do like this song, but what I really like is the drum pattern at the 3:26 mark — and then the slow fade to piano a muted guitar with what sounds like film rolling on a projector. Nice.

Your instinct not to see Elizabethtown was the correct one. My wife and I rushed to it on opening night, looking for another Almost Famous experience, and … Elizabethtown just really, really sucks. Kirsten Dunst deserved to never work again after that film.

Nice song, though…at least the piano part…and its use was about the one decent thing about the whole movie.
