Great First Film for Braff

Rating: 9/10 (9 August 2004)

This was an impressive film. Shot very well, great direction and a beautiful script. You cared for these characters. You were interested in why they did the things they did and how they related to one another. Each and everyone had a battle to fight. I believe what filled these characters out came in the direction of the film. Each character was whole and well defined the moment they appeared on screen. This film used light very well enhancing the story and overall mood. It showcased Jersey in a way I've never seen before. Braff knows what he is doing...he's not just that goof from "Scrubs" anymore. I think film buffs can expect good things from this guy in the near future.
