Well, the soundtrack was pretty good.
Gina reminded me that in my desire to be pithy I left off my rating scheme, so here it is: Elizabethtown put my wife to sleep in about an hour and a half. This does not mean that she liked it; she just kept shaking her head and muttering and making unfavorable comparisons to some of her other “favorite” movies such as August Rush and Hope Floats and giving me sidelong glances and saying “How did you pick this, again?”
I think that means don’t see it. hehe Did your wife sleep through it? Paula Deen didn’t save it?

Hahaha…I thought the same exact thing. And then I wondered why I just wasted a couple hours of my life 🙂

No, Almost Famous IS good (particularly because of the main role played by …?) but I think Cameron thought he was on a bit of a roll…and he wasn’t.

I watched it just cuz I wanted to see Paula Deen in her first movie role!! LOL! She had a whole episode on the food network about the making of it. I confess I am a food network junkie (shhh).

I’ve never seen the movie, so I can’t say one way or the other, but I’ll agree with your wife that Hope Floats is a good movie. I’ll have to check this one out, just for the sake of checking it out!

Are you kidding? You mean the cliche quirkiness of Dunst’s character and the trying-too-hard-less-is-more effect of the movie overall (and which is mirrored in Zach Braff’s “Garden State”) didn’t impress?

Not if you have a high tolerance the cutest, quirkiest, coolest girl character ever invented by a writer/director, or profoundly complex and deeply thoughtful males who need the quirky cool girl to provide that perfect balance. Nope – if you like that kind of thing, leave it in your queue. (Who the hell invented the spelling of the word “queue”!?)
Have you seen Before Sunrise and Before Sunset? Now them’s good movies.
