ELIZABETHTOWN (2005)

Cast

Plot

Drew Baylor is a young man on the cusp of iconic achievement, well certainly within the big business world of sports shoe design. Unfortunately Drew stumbles and instead achieves the status of iconic infamy within the world of sports shoe design. Fate, though, is not satisfied with his downfall and compounds his suicidal misery with the death of his father. A comedy you ask? Well you see this low point is the beginning of Drew's re-birth; first he meets Claire, if life affirmation ever becomes a union she'd be their pin-up, and secondly he meets the townsfolk of Elizabethtown, his father's birth place, who instil in him a sense of love and belonging that he had long forgotten. Cameron Crow has created a whimsical and good natured comedy drama, but it relies too heavily on its rather uncharismatic leads and, though not without charm, it lacks the heart and passion of his earlier ‘Almost Famous'.
