Director Braff portrays real, heartfelt feeling

Rating: 9/10 (14 January 2005)

Though some of the scenes seemed rougher than necessary (drug use, sex, language), Braff did a fantastic job portraying a feeling of deep, genuine love between two very likable characters. He and Portman exuded a chemistry that was moving and sincere. He managed to throw in some particularly funny dialog along the way, and in addition collected some fantastic music that seemed to fit perfectly. I went out and got the sounds track soon after and have very much enjoyed it. Highly recommended. As the director and lead actor, Braff managed to put together one of the most interesting and touching films all year, as well as one the is cinematic ally beautiful. It's a movie I plan to add to my personal collection.
