Overly Praised

Rating: Null/10 (25 September 2004)

I'll give Zach Braff his kibble where his kibble is due. He has created some breath taking shots (along with nabbing one from Danny Boyle's Trainspotting) in Garden State. That's all the kibble I could ever give Zach for this movie. Garden State has been compared as this generations "The Graduate" which it very may well be, but further pushes my point on how much I hate this generation. Garden State's plot is full of cliché's aplenty. Strange parents, prescription problems, drugs, and the ever so wonderful message that the desire of the dream doesn't matter when you fall in love. This is what made me turn around in the last 15 minutes and hump the seat, for I had nothing better to do. I knew everything that was going to happen, it was typical. Zach tried writing this movie and reached a lot of people through this film, but not me.
