Excellent Flic

Rating: 10/10 (22 October 2004)

I thought this was an extraordinary first effort from Zach Braff. Most striking for me is the soundtrack. There are truly some great tunes on there. Portman is great as the sorta zany side-kick for this sort of coming-of-age type dramedy. Some problems with elements being realistic, but hey, that's OK.
Some of the stylistic elements like visuals and the colorful characters that move in and out of the movie like so many colorful characters move in and out of most people's lives are really well thought out and only add to the enjoyment of this film.
I highly recommend this movie to anyone.
