GO SEE Elizabethtown

I went with my girlfriend, expecting to see a bad chick-flick. Not only that, it's got nothing but bad reviews..

Well -- it's replaced nearly every movie I've seen and is in my top 5 movies.. EVER. It's an awesome story and lesson about living your life while you have it, if you look for it. If you're expecting an action movie or a predictable chick flick this definitely isn't it.. it's more than two hours long and goes quite slow -- but it develops a story that made ME cry... a very unlikely prospect.

I highly recommend it!!

Wow, sounds good. I was really just expecting it to be a chick flick, too. I guess the two main actors CAN be good, but I dropped Dunst's credit when her acting in Spiderman was bad. Bloom is a good actor, but was afraid that this movie would make him look bad. Glad to hear it was good.

I was kinda reading the plot, and it sounds like Garden State.

Ebert gave it 3 stars, which means to me that it's probably good. It has horrible reviews, but Ebert is the only one I trust anyway so it doesn't matter. I'll probably go see it with my girlfriend (she wants to see it really bad).

I lost what little faith I had in Dunst's acting ability after Spiderman. So I probably won't be paying to go see this.

Let's see if this makes me cries. Haven't seen a movie that has yet.

Dunst is bad, Bloom is awful. I have no reason to expect a film with both of them in it to be good. Call me cynical.

I saw it with my girlfriend last night - I agree with JinnKai on this one, it's definitely worth watching. I'm not a big fan of chick flicks, and I'm not a fan of Orlando Bloom (though I do like Kirsten Dunst), and I did enjoy this movie.
