BRAVO ZACK BRAFF

Rating: 9/10 (27 August 2004)

Zack is a triple threat for sure, this talented young man from my home state can act, write, and direct. Just saw this movie with five others, and we all loved it. Surely did our share of laughing.
No, I won't tell the plot, the theme or put in any spoilers. You all know what the film is about. I must say Natalie Portman is so excellent, I wanted to yell out "Give her the Best Supporting Award right now." Zack Braff's role reminded me of his TV role in Scrubs. Same kind of character. He also was terrific, and as the writer, star, and director, he did not have the giant ego that would make another thespian eat up the screen. How great that a film can make you laugh so much then turn around and bring you back down to to sober you.
It is worth a trip to the theater to see this bit of terrific indie workmanship. Thank God for indie film makers. It is worthy of a 4 star review.
