Garden State needed a little weeding...

Rating: 5/10 (2 March 2007)

Read the commentary of the smitten viewer who opined of this bit of cinematic fluff being the anthem of a generation... my friend, I think you are selling your generation short. While I think that the movie does - and will - speak to a segment of your generation, I think a large percentage of it will rightfully say, "That is NOT me.".
Good bit of writing on your part, however. Very good. Wish the editing would have been as good as your writing.
Yes, I enjoyed the movie. I would watch it again. In fact, I bought it... even though it wasn't a great movie.
Why? Two reasons.
1. Watching Jean Smart do bong hits. Small part, but did she ever NAIL it to the wall!
2. I'm 46, but I know what it is to be standing at the edge of the life screaming at the top of my lungs. I just scream for different reasons now.
