More than beats the eye

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2005)

Garden State is perhaps one of the best feel good films in the past five years. Natalie Portman and Peter Sarsgaard are two of the premier actors in Hollywood and have retreated back to what film-making is all about...making a good film. One can definitely see that the cast and crew did not do this for the money...it was for the potential to make a moving and changing event. True, the plot and themes aren't all that original, but the dialogue and characters more than enough make up for that. Braff has done and excellent job of combining the human nature with a comedic relief in this film. One of the best ever.
