* DuelingWorks: With ''Film/GardenState'', another movie about a depressed man regaining his confidence thanks to his romantic interactions with a ManicPixieDreamGirl. In fact, both movies essentially codified this character archetype in fiction. The big difference is that ''Garden State'' had a favorable reception among critics and audiences not to mention that it far better at the box office than ''Elizabethtown'' which was widely seen as an imitator of that film.
