Hipster before it was hip.

Rating: 4/10 (28 November 2012)

This movie is essentially a boring man's take on what interesting lives are like. Zach Braff plays Andrew Largeman (get it? because he's so big on the inside) who accidentally handicaps his mother and becomes estranged from his family. He's on all sorts of uppers and living as an actor in LA. He's back for his mother's funeral and meets a compulsive liar Sam (Natalie Portman) and they fall in love after four days. They go to a hole in the earth and the groundskeeper tells them to explore "the infinite abyss" (get it? because life is infinite and ish) and they hang out in an abandoned mansion and go to drug deals and probably do more things but I've blocked them out. Being honest, there is nothing noteworthy about this movie aside from Natalie Portman being cute all the time. It's indie soundtrack and attempts at meaningfulness leaves me hoping that Braff doesn't try to make another movie.
