For me... just a good flick... I liked it

Rating: 7/10 (30 April 2005)

I've just done seeing Garden State about twenty minutes ago and I must say it was a very feel good experience but it just isn't the kind of movie that I will remember for ages.
It reminds me of a few independent films from the eighties that had a similar content or were all displaying the life of twenty something year olds or students and all that. It's a fine first step for Braff as the director. Natalie Portman was also very amazing and gave the film that really "seize your life" kind of felling even though she wasn't the main "screwup" in this film.
The biggest surprise for me was the tiny role done by Method Man. Now that I did not expect. But surprisingly he didn't screwup the film in any way.
Overall in my opinion I will not remember this film for ages and ages but it still gave me that warm felling that usually only comes from seeing good, solid Indies.
....... +3/5 .......
