a complete waste of £3

Rating: 2/10 (5 January 2005)

having seen the previews for Garden State, i was quite looking forward to see the critically acclaimed film. once the film had started, i was, to be perfectly honest, bored out of my mind. i felt like i had to stay, perhaps it may actually get better? i was wrong. this film was incredibly repetitive, Braff being confused Portman doing something strange, Braff being confused Portman doing something strange etc etc etc........
this film is a waste of money. for something that was supposed to be aimed at my generation, its point was completely lost on me.
the only praise i have for this film is the soundtrack - the songs are amazing! if anything this film is a good cure for insomnia 2/10
