Perhaps the Best Movie Ever Made

Rating: 10/10 (24 August 2005)

This is such a spectacular movie. Zach Braff is a creative genius. The writing, directing, and acting are all phenomenal. Natalie Portman does an excellent job of making you fall in love with her. It is an amazing combination of comedy and romance. Often when movies try to do both, the transition between the two is jolting and just doesn't work at all. Not so for Garden State. The writing flows seamlessly throughout the entire thing, and you just get the feeling that every line is exactly perfect for that point in the movie. The film truly captures the essence of the mid-20s, indie music, Prozac-nation culture. Speaking of music, the soundtrack alone is amazing, and coupled with the movie, the experience is just intense. I cannot gush enough about this film. If you have not yet seen this film, you must do so now. Put this as your top priority. Seriously.
