A daring but simple love story that defines who we are.

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2005)

Andrew Largeman(Zach Braff)is a disaffected man and an unsuccessful actor who returns home to New Jersey for his mother's funeral. While in town he meets up with old friends and finds his soul mate in strange but lovable girl named Sam(Natalie Portman).
This could be one of the greatest modern love stories of all time. I honestly did not predict Zach Braff to be such a great writer/director but he surprised me as well as the rest of the people who have seen this movie. Garden State is a humorous, clever story that can appeal to our generation unlike any other love story that there has ever been. With Portman and Braff's acting in this movie, it is not difficult to understand anyone can love this movie. But there is so much more to this movie than just that. The story can be related so well to anyone over some unrealistic, epic love story such as The Notebook. Overall, this is a fine movie and can be enjoyed very easily. No changes could make this movie any better. It is absolutely perfect for what it is.
I highly recommend this movie.
