The Me-ometer goes wild: Elizabethtown at Relevant

There are things in this world that I really appreciate: nerdy, intricate science fiction novels; obscure and slightly obnoxious indie rock bands; really, really big speakers; quirky, heartfelt movies about young people trying to find direction; Central Kentucky.

While Cameron Crowe, director of such feel-good classics as Say Anything and Jerry Maguire, has yet to film an ode to massive speakers or cyberpunk novels (probably for the best, in the long run), he’s recently made a go at the last two with the Orlando Bloom/Kirsten Dunst festival of romantic naiveté, Elizabethtown. Relevant has my review, which discusses the winding ups and downs of his latest film.
