Editorial Reviews

Cameron Crowe’s latest, while not nearly as captivating as his Jerry Maguire and Almost Famous, is a pleasantly offbeat and diverting romantic drama with a standout performance from Kirsten Dunst. Elizabethtown’s star, Orlando Bloom, is slightly miscast as industrial engineer Drew Baylor, who loses his job when his latest tennis shoe design turns out to be an expensive flop. Adding insult to injury, Drew’s girlfriend (Jessica Biel) walks out on him just before he learns about the death of his father, the patriarch of an eccentric Kentucky clan. Nearly catatonic with shock and grief, Drew makes the trip home and is befriended by Claire Colburn (Dunst), an almost unbearably upbeat flight attendant who sees him through this rough patch. Crowe’s script has one basic problem: Although Drew is ostensibly the film’s protagonist, he actually does very little but react to the craziness around him -- until the latter reels, when his budding romance with Claire supersedes the family drama. In some ways Drew is like Alice in Wonderland, drawn back into a world that hardly seems real and surrounded by eccentrics whom he either barely knows or has deliberately minimized contact with. Among the outstanding supporting cast are Susan Sarandon, Alec Baldwin, Bruce McGill, Judy Greer, and Gaylord Sartain; Sarandon, especially, is in top form as the mother who engages in a series of whirligig activities in a mad attempt to fend off her grief. Bloom is okay as the shell-shocked son, but for our money the picture’s real star is Dunst, who is positively effervescent as the garrulous flight attendant.
