excellent, funny, heartfelt

Rating: 10/10 (26 January 2005)

This is an excellent film. One of the best I've witnessed in a long time. Zach Braff pulls off funny, heartfelt, relevant, moving and awakening all at once. The actors do a wonderful job. Zach Braff is completely accessible. Peter Sarsgaard is excellent and understated (as usual). Natalie Portman is endearing. Her character is one of the best characters I've seen for a woman in a long while. The character is genuine and deeply human. The film captures the mundane of everyday life and makes it seem significant. If you are not moved by this film your are either completely out of touch with the 20 something generation or you're on too much medication! Favorite Scenes: the "original moment" and the quarry.
