Minimalism brimming with quirkiness and warmth.

Rating: 7/10 (28 February 2005)

Braff more than aptly brings us and stars in this minimalistic, winning comedy-drama about small-town homecoming, family skeletons, and love saving the day (and your life!). Proves that a good script is all a movie needs, as it's brimming with quirkiness and warmth. Great set of whimsical characters! The feel of 'Scrubs' is unmistakably in the air... But that rub-off is no disturbance. It can't sustain the same touch all the way to the finish line, as I find it ending a bit too conventional and cute. But any movie that brings on Coldplay AND such an underrated Simon & Garfunkel end song on its soundtrack is nothing but classy taste!
So, comfortably 7 out of 10 from Ozjeppe.
