Tender ,honest ,enjoyable little movie .

Rating: 7/10 (30 March 2007)

I liked a lot this movie . "Garden State " ,even when it have some similarities with many movies ,triumphs at the end being a sincere and full of heart love tale . Directed by Zach Braff (Better know for his work in sitcoms "Scrubs" and in that horrible Disney movie "Chicken Little " he was the only funny thing about it ) The story it's very simple : a young man returns to the town where he born when he is noticed about the death of his mother . He decides to stay some days in town and he meet some old friends and later ,a girl(Natalie Portman )for which he starts to feel affection .
As you see there is nothing new in "Garden State " .But the magic of the movie is in the way it is told ,combining humor ,drama and some bizarre situations to create a gentle story full of convincing emotions . "Garden State " received many good reviews and I have to agree with them .This is one of my personal favorites.
