8 Things a Cameron Crowe Movie Always Has

In Aloha, Bradley Cooper's character is at a professional and personal crossroads, caught between his old career and his new one, and likewise, between an ex and a new love interest. Cameron Crowe's films always feature a male protagonist with as many issues. He may be unsure about his future, as in Say Anything; he may be grieving, as in We Bought a Zoo and Elizabethtown; maybe he just lost his job, like in Jerry Maguire and Elizabethtown; and maybe he's not even sure of his identity, like in Vanilla Sky. Either way, this guy is in no shape to take on a relationship.
