Discuss “Elizabethtown talks”

Cameron Crowe has a few good movies under his belt, to say the least. His films have revolved around a high-powered sports agent, a teen tagging along behind a band, and a magazine owner who becomes trapped in a mask. Now he takes on something a little more down-to-earth. Almost.

Elizabethtown, Crowe?s next film, will hit the big screen this Friday. This story follows a slightly less exciting character than those in Jerry Maguire or Almost Famous. Orlando Bloom plays Drew Baylor, a failed shoe designer who returns to small?town Kentucky after his father dies. Drew is suicidal after being fired and dumped almost simultaneously before he makes the trek home.

Crowe is pretty familiar with the formula of ?young man with everything loses everything...
