Fantastic!

Rating: Null/10 (31 December 2004)

Wow! This was an incredible movie. The acting was superb, the plot was interesting, and it was just a great movie. Natalie Portman was fantastic. Her character was so infectious. Zach Braff was also amazing. The soundtrack was superbly chosen. The way the film was shot was also well done. One of the things I liked best about it was that the main characters were great, but the whole story was also peppered with interesting, memorable smaller characters. Some of them were so random (such as Tim (I think that's his name) and the guy who worked at that store where Mark returned those knives). On one hand, it seems so random that they are in the movie, because they are only in there for a small blip of time, but on the other hand, you can see what they're purpose was. It was just a good movie. I could definitely follow Andrew's journey throughout the movie. The changes in him as the movie went on were noticeable, and that was nice. Not overly laugh-out-loud humorous, but very funny and amusing. It makes you smile (hard as that may seem, given the circumstances of the characters). This was an A+ effort and performance for Zach Braff.
Definitely a worthy movie. Definitely Oscar worthy in my opinion.
