Fantastic

Rating: 10/10 (3 April 2006)

I love Garden State. From start to end it's a fantastic movie ... but I can't tell you why exactly! I can say it is funny, intelligent, well written, sweet and real - but a lot of movies are like this and still fail to hit the mark. Garden State hits the mark dead on! Although it's not side-splittingly funny, it is charmingly funny and brings a smile to your face for almost the entire film.
Zach Braff does an excellent job in every way, as a writer, director and the star. He manages to play the part without making you think for one second that he's simply J.D. which can be difficult for anyone (Matthew Perry seems to be Chandler in every film he's in - not that that's entirely a bad thing)
I recommend to anyone that they watch this movie. It's a definite 10/10!
Let's hope Zach Braff can do more like this.
