Very good movie.

Rating: 9/10 (18 February 2005)

I didn't know what to expect when my girlfriend rented this. But I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. The plot is solid as a rock. The dialog was terrificly written. Zach Braff is a great actor. And Natalie Portman is always a delight to watch. I feel that a lot of people will identify with at least one character in the movie if not a bunch of them. It is a story that tugs very deeply at the emotional strings that are attached to ones feelings of what a family and a home are and should be. I think it teaches us a few things that everyone should know inherently. Mostly that life is what it is and we shouldn't try to hard to make it something we cant. All in all one of the best movies I have seen in a while.
