Whether you want a movie that makes you laugh, cry, challenge your brain, or just make you sit and ponder life, Garden State is the movie to get you through the day.
This is unquestionably one of the best movies i've seen in years, and I have no doubt that its one of the only movies whose main plot is one of those corny love stories, common to chick flicks, that I would ever consider for my top ten favorite movies of all time.
There are many movies out there that are merely made to entertain, which isn't exactly a bad thing but it is always refreshing to see a film that really makes you think. Life is a complicated process and Garden State takes us through some of the greater difficulties, things like family, where your going in life and love.
The music was also an amazing highlight for this film. The music never fails to accent the moment, which of course is expected of a film but this soundtrack features some really good bands. Namely The Shins, Simon and Garfunkle, Coldplay, and Iron and Wine, all of which are amazing groups.
If you haven't seen Garden State yet go out and rent it, it is absolutely amazing and is one of the best movies I've ever seen.
