Elizabethtown

This is the film that sparked the term "manic pixie dream girl", and that makes a lot of sense.

Kirsten Dunst is one of my favorites, but I have trouble getting behind this one. It feels like two movies smushed together, one is a love story, and the other is all the family pieces. A lot of things happen that don't really make sense. How does a new shoe trigger a billion dollar loss? Did Claire quit her job immediately? What is happening here?

I'm still giving it three stars for Kirsten Dunst and for the suicide bike and for the vibe of the early 2000s.
