10 out of 10

Rating: 10/10 (27 March 2007)

Unlike some other movies, Garden State brings a fresh sense of reality to its plot along with a fresh cast of diverse characters. I, personally, loved watching it from beginning to end. It seems to show a motivating lesson on the different swings life takes at you. While the movie itself, was never really a huge box-office slam dunk, I highly recommend watching it and seeing for yourself how amazing this independent film is. Even the soundtrack is a unique blend of music from various artists from The Shins, a band of today's generation, to Simon and Garfunkel, classic artists. Writer and director and actor, Zach Braff, couldn't have done more to make his first big piece better! 10/10 stars!
