Review of Elizabethtown

Another overlong and somewhat shapeless comedy. It felt like the plot was made up of bits left over from other films...a young man who is a shoe designer for a fictionalised version of Nike has a spectacular (and implausible) failure with one of his projects, decides to kill himself in an implausible and horrible way, but is interrupted by the news that his father has died. He must go back to his father's Kentucky small town hometown, and on the way he meets heartwarming people including the quirky but attractive air stewardess on his otherwise-empty flight, and they fall in love, and...get the idea?

Too long, not funny enough, kept feeling like it should have ended.

Watched on Netflix.
