Perfect and Mesmerizing

Rating: 10/10 (23 September 2005)

This was the best movie i have seen in a long time. It was written by first-timer, Zach Braff, who also acts on television's Scrubs. I have never watched him on TV, but in this movie, i couldn't take my eyes off him. This film had a depth that seems almost obsolete in these modern days, especially among teenage films. I loved the clever writing with witty humour that is not in-your-face, nor crude. Natalie Portman's performance seemed effortless-She was so cute and bubbly. Together with Zach Braff's intensity, the chemistry was undeniable. I like the theme of having movies based on nothing. It doesn't annoy me and it doesn't come off as obnoxious. I have, since my first viewing, seen this movie several times, and will continue to watch it. Music on the film and soundtrack is incredibly too. Never had a soundtrack with ALL good songs. Not a bad one in the whole lot! If you don't see any films besides this one, this year, you will be satisfied.
