Gen X movie with insight

Rating: 9/10 (30 July 2005)

This is an excellent movie but I disagree with the other user's comment that this film "defines the generation" of people born in the early-mid 80s. The characters are all 26++ in 2004 -- that would mean the youngest one was born in 1978.
Slotting the movie as defining one generation or another seems irrelevant anyway, since it deals the arguably timeless issue of transitioning into the reality of adulthood and the yearning for security of some concept of a home that probably no longer exists (or perhaps never did exist).
Zach Braff delivers an on-target performance and the supporting cast is phenomenal.
