So, we decided at the last minute to go see this movie tonight. By the time we got to the theater, the only available seats were on the front row.
This was not a bad thing. Not a bad thing at all. Oh, how I loved those Orlando closeups. And there were lots of them. Lots.
*coughs*
Anyway. I really, really liked this movie, and not just because of teh hawtness of Orlando (and he is quite scrumptious). The story is a good one, and I personally think it was told charmingly. Not everything in the movie always has to do with the main story line. Sometimes it’s just about life, and people–and that’s a good thing. I can see why some people wouldn’t like it, but I thought it was great. Sometimes you just need to see life from a different perspective. In the end, that’s what this movie is about– it’s a celebration of life.
And did you know that Orlando Bloom can act? I mean, really. Emotion and everything. It was gratifying for me to see, because I always suspected he could. I’ve been waiting for him to have a role like this. So glad he got one.
Watching him dance like an idiot was good, too.
I suspect that I could say more about Elizabethtown tomorrow, when it’s had a chance to sink in.
I do want to see it again, though.
