Tour de force for Zach Braff

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2004)

I think the Premiere magazine mini review said it best... "Braff is an auteur...who knew?"
Who knew indeed!
I was lucky enough to catch the premiere of this movie at the LA Film Festival. To say I was impressed would be an understatement.
For this to be a first-time effort is incredible. The movie has such subtle humor...the crowd was laughing out loud for most of the show.
The difference between this movie and most is this one is intelligent. One line of all "he's only a fast-food knight" is due to be the most remembered line of 2004.
I don't want to give away too much of this movie, or any of it, so you all can discover what I did. Suffice to say Braff gives a superb performance as a writer and that helps him deliver as an actor and director.
Natalie Portman can act! Not since "The Professional" have we seen her better.
The soundtrack alone is worth the ticket price.
Go see this movie!!
