Watching Elizabethtown gave me a great sense of satisfaction. I think it is fair to say that every single aspect of the film was magnificent bar one: Orlando Bloom. When we commenced watching this film, my friend whispered to me "See his face now? His expression won't change for the whole film"-and it seldom did. Now I'm not saying that Bloom is "razzie" material, he is not, as such, a bad actor, but he really can't portray more than one emotion. I am absolutely positive that a much more suitable lead with a much greater acting range would have been possible. For the life of me I cannot understand why Bloom was signed on for this film. I was, almost, able to overlook Blooms acting and enjoy the film for what it was; which is a credit to Crow's fine directing. This is a touching delineation of romance, full of poignant moments and hilarious situations. Wonderfully shot, amazingly acted and with great panache this is a film that should not be overlooked-even considering a certain someone's "ability"
