This film changed my life!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2007)

Very few films warrant a perfect ten rating from me. I've watched films for the past 25 years and can categorically say that never has a film reached in and touched me in the same way as this wonderful directorial debut from the insanely talented Mr Braff. Having recently gone through a divorce and being very much lost at the time of viewing this for the first of many times, this quite literally picked me up and placed me well and truly on the road to repair. Firstly, I have to give Zach Braff kudos for writing, directing, starring in and carefully hand-picking the soundtrack for this gem. By the time the end credits rolled to the tune of Frau Frau 'Let Go' I was completely spellbound. Cynics constantly whinge about films with unrealistically happy endings and, I don't know about anyone else, but sometimes it is refreshing when a film leaves you with a warm feeling inside. This film most certainly did. I fell in love with Natalie Portman's character after watching this and she is quite simply stunning as Sam, Peter Saarsgard puts in a remarkable performance as the lead's best friend and Braff does commendably well in his big-screen debut.I won't go too much into the plot as I'll leave it up to anyone who reads this to just watch it and discover a film that , to quote Braff's character Wiseman ''changed my life''. Also, the soundtrack is, as I mentioned before, superb as is every conceivable aspect of this remarkable film. Enjoy and join the masses of film-watchers everywhere who hold this very close to their hearts.
