Garden State is honest, unique, very funny, beautifully shot

Rating: 10/10 (11 August 2004)

I first heard about Garden State when I saw the trailer in the theater. If you haven't seen it, the teaser for the film is amazing, creating almost as much buzz as the film itself.
I went to see Garden State at a special screening in Boston, Massachusetts. Zach Braff spoke and answered questions after for more than an hour. He was witty and funny and very honest about his film.
The film shows Andrew Largeman's (Zach Braff) journey away from a life of numbness. It was shot beautifully, the acting is outstanding, and the soundtrack is amazing. Garden State gave me the opportunity to laugh about things that make some days hard to get through. I recommend it to anyone that has the opportunity.
