An excellent coming of age movie.

Rating: 7/10 (20 October 2005)

Andrew Largeman (Zack)is a man that just simply exist and does not live. Ever since a rather substantial happening in his childhood he has been on medication and estranged from his family. When his mother dies he ventures home and suddenly finds himself back in the places and time frame he left. It is here that he meets Sam (Portman). She is a utterly charming and quirky character. They get drawn towards each other and start to unravel their purpose and meaning of life. Zack Braff has written a really good story, but I feel that he should not have cast himself as the lead. Fair enough that apathy is a big part of his character but he is out shown by the other actors in all regards. Especially by Natalie Portman that is truly awesome and aspiring. Watch it, and if you want to see an adult view on relationship check out the stunning "Closer" also featuring Ms.Portman.
