Another Cameron Crowe misfire!

"There's a difference between a failure and a fiasco. A failure is merely the absence of success. Any fool can achieve failure. But a fiasco, a fiasco is a disaster of epic propotions. A fiasco is a folk tale told to other's to make other people feel more alive because it didn't happen to them." It has been many years since Cameron Crowe accomplished consecutive mind-blowing success when he wrote and directed 1996's Jerry Maguire and 2000's Almost Famous. However, even with such triumph underneath his belt, his next film Vanilla Sky was met with severe panning from critics and audiences alike. After watching Vanilla Sky I ascertained that Crowe's career was gradually heading downhill and after that film I lost all faith in the man. Needless to say, without any qualms I gave Elizabethtow...Read more

After Pirates of the Caribbean I think I got a bit obsessed with Orlando Bloom, so I watched this film and I was actually pretty surprised. Its not just one of those romance movies where it seems interesting for a while and then becomes dull and boring - no, this is completely different. I'm not actually one to watch romance movies, though this was also a comedy as well, so that was probably the main reason I rented it in the first place. It gave me that good feeling of just enjoying it, watching characters on screen fall in love, I have to admit it was kind of cute. I can't remember ever finding this boring at all.. just perhaps some scenes weren't as exciting as others. Its entertaining to watch and I'm sure any Orlando Bloom fan would love him in this movie as much as any other...Read more

This film has about a billion good sequences in it. There's pure comedy genius in the ideas - the shoe, the long telephone call, the family, the video, the urn, the wake, the map...

But alas, it didn't really string together well enough to be a great movie. I found my attention wandering much as the characters seemed to wander from one scene to the next. The sum of the whole was _less_ than the parts.

Okay. Needed more direction.
