What…are you kidding? This is fantastic. You can tell right away that Elizabethtown has a nicely seasoned mood, a tone that’s not quite this, that or the other thing but is definitely alive and absorbing and trying to dig down. You can feel the whimsy, humor, gravitas, regrets. Kirsten Dunst seems…I don’t know…hotter and more emotionally come-hither than in anything she’s acted in before, and something tells me this will be Orlando Bloom’s home run. (Or something approaching this…a triple?) This easily overrides the effect of those moderately dull school yearbook cast photos that appeared on the Elizabethtown site a week or so ago. Jane Fonda is advised not to click here — it’ll only depress her. Everyone else, feel free.
