You'd be hard-pressed to whip up a more perfect Pro/Con checklist: an actor from the Jackson LotR films at the top of his game cast as a failson of preternatural stature -- supplemented by a singularly kickass indie/classic rock and bluegrass soundtrack, and backed up by a heartfelt Susan Sarandon -- exploring themes of catastrophe, loss, and the struggles of family. Too bad it's terrible! "Elizabethtown" (2005) has all the raw material of greatness, but only manages to impress as a truly spectacular fiasco. Kudos to Cameron Crowe for crystallizing the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope, which has provided plenty of boilerplate whimsy ever since.
