awesome movie

Rating: 9/10 (13 January 2005)

i actually don't even remember seeing a trailer for this movie - but was so very pleasantly surprised when i finally saw it. i've even seen an episode or two of "scrubs" but there's really no comparison between his work on that series and his writing/directing and acting in Garden State.
what got to me was the quality of the acting - it goes without saying that good actors make a world of a difference and it's not different with this movie. everything about Garden State seemed so real - from the unpolished people, to the grubby homes, to the dysfunctional families...this all helped me connect with the characters better.
the realisation of the story with the knight in shining armour was a bit disturbing though. ick.
highly recommended.
