In response to those who didn't "get it"...

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 2004)

It's kind of getting obnoxious continuously reading comments by users who claim that the fact that they fail to relate to this movie, or the characters in it, makes it a bad film. Especially when the people making said comments are 30+ year olds from Los Angeles or Topeka or Florida or some other ridiculous location.
The movie is called Garden State. For all the geography retarded movie-goers, New Jersey is the Garden State, and it is NOT in New England (That's just stupid).
The fact that the characters in the film and the location of the film are placed in New Jersey (for the majority) should be explanation enough as to why these people failed to relate.
The film relates to people who are at a point in their life in which they constantly feel numb and misplaced.
People from New Jersey can easily relate to the film, for obvious reasons.
People who want to make a difference in the world, but despite their best efforts have failed to do so, can also relate to the characters.
and the people who say they cant relate, it is obvious to me, are in denial of the fact that they have failed to make the difference they were raised to believe they could make...
but then again people are going to call this comment stupid probably
