Just smile

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2011)

I have watched this film so many times and each time it does the same things to me. It makes me laugh, it makes me cringe from embarrassment and it makes me cry. But most importantly this film makes me smile.
Garden State is the directing debut of Zach Braff and is a big hit in my books, it has witty dialogue, memorable scene and very powerful speeches and moments. The film is about Andrew Largeman, a struggling actor who goes back to his home town after the death of his mum. He sees old friends and meets Sam (played amazingly by Natalie Portman) and the story just plays out.
The acting is superb, Braff doesn't play his stupid scrubs like comedy in this, instead he is somber and depressing, It is Natalie Portman who stands out though as a crazy, unique, lying and animal loving weirdo and is just kind of every guys dream.
This film doesn't have a huge storyline, nor a huge budget, but it does have some amazing messages and is beautiful to watch. this is near perfect and is great for generation Y.
10/10 Mr Braff, you have done yourself proud
