Just saw "Elizabethtown" this afternoon, and liked it pretty much. I think, though, that it should have ended with the memorial service. To me, the movie just dragged on too much after that part, and, although I understand the point of the road trip (the trip that Drew and his father never took), the road trip scenes were just anticlimactic and unnecessary to the plot. (And how on earth did Claire have enough time to design and put the very large notebook and many CD's together for Drew's trip?) As for the actors, Susan Sarandon was just great up on the stage, and she's by far the best actor in "Elizabethtown". Kirsten Dunst's character grated on me some - I've never met anybody so outgoing and bubbly. And, of course, "Elizabethtown" gave me lots of time to listen to Orlando Bloom's American accent. All in all, I liked this movie and it did have some very funny scenes.
