Drew is a shoe designer who failed miserably and created billions in losses for the company he works for. When he is about to end his life, his sister calls and announces that his father has died. He is now forced by his mother and sister to go to Elizabethtown where his father has died to take care of everything and manage his father's side of the family. On the flight there, he meets flight attendant Claire, who will play a big role in his life for the next few days.
The film is not a traditional romantic film, perhaps more of a drama comedy. A well-constructed, funny and a good film with a romantic theme.
