The writer-director of 'Jerry Maguire' and 'Almost Famous' returns with the screenplay to his glorious new movie starring Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst.
After mistakenly causing a financial catastrophe at the Oregon shoe company where he works, designer Drew Baylor (Bloom) is fired - and then promptly dumped by his girlfriend. Hours later, Drew, on the verge of suicide, learns of his father Mitch's sudden death - and, as the only child, he is summoned back to his family's small Kentucky hometown of Elizabethtown. On the flight there, Drew meets a quick-witted stewardess, Claire Colburn (Dunst), who will help him navigate the rough waters ahead, so proving that amazing things happen when you least expect them . . .
