Totally Unique

Rating: 9/10 (4 March 2005)

I saw the commericial to this movie, a couple weeks after it was released, and it just looked interesting, one of the critics said, "It's this years Lost in Translation," and I loved that movie, so I went to go see it with my dad. When I left the theater, I felt totally impressed that Mr. Braff could write, star, and direct this film, and I thought that it had awesome scenes, funny moments, and one off beat sense of humor. The thing I loved most about this whole film, was the music was totally intuned to every scene, and I loved it from beginning to end (although it was hollywoody and unrealistic.) The title to is very trippy, because Garden State what Jersey's called, but it's also a state of regrowth, and thats what this movie is about, rebirth and growth. Kudos to Mr. Braff, and Ms. Portman who deserved an Oscar nomination, as did Mr. Braff for writing.
