It's a stinker

Rating: 2/10 (5 January 2005)

Just sat through 'Garden State' and only just made it. Wow, you've got to love Natalie Portman, but she does her worst acting job I've ever seen in this flick. Sad to say that the point of the movie never really came through and even now, I'm unsure why Zach bothered to put it on the big screen. I think Zach was trying too hard to recreate the role of Cameron Fry in 'Ferris Buellers Day Off' and there was even a scene of kids walking by holding hands that was straight out of the Ferris Bueller. We all have issues from our pasts that we like to identify characters in movies with, but this was a sad attempt and I can only assume it bombed at the box office. Anyhow, I don't mean this all to sound mean, but it's frustrating when you pay good money to see such a pathetic movie. And the real choker is that I missed Coronation Street to watch it!
