* VindicatedByHistory: It bombed upon release and was massacred by critics who saw it as overdoing it on Crowe's quirks but has developed a bit of a cult following in the years since among fans who liked it for it's earnestness and positive vibes. Notably, Nathan Rabin, once one of the film's harshest critics and who even began his habit of reviewing films which bombed in response that would go on to define his career, had a more positive take the second time he watched it and grew to genuinely like the film later on.

* CreatorKiller: The film is often blamed for ending Creator/OrlandoBloom's run as an A-list Hollywood leading man; despite being one of the most iconic actors of the 2000s thanks to his performances as [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Legolas]], [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Will Turner]], and [[Film/{{Troy}} Paris]], most critics reacted negatively to his lead role in ''Elizabethtown''--a purely dramatic film that mostly required him to carry the emotional weight of the story by himself (without Creator/ViggoMortensen, Creator/JohnnyDepp, or Creator/EricBana backing him up). He's mostly appeared in smaller films (or supporting roles) since then.
