Excellent Movie

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2006)

I never thought that funny man Zach Braff could write and direct such beautiful portrait of such a beautifully broken man. "Garden State" is the story of a man who is on so many anti-depressants that he is numb. He learns that his mother has died and has to go home. He reconnects with old friends, and meets a very special new friend.
The chemistry between Braff and Portman is amazing. All the characters have their own realistic idiosyncrasies, which makes them easy to love. The dialouge is heartfelt and well-written. You really believe that these people exist. You feel as if you are there, with them. It is truly a cinematic experience.
All in all, I would recommend "Garden State" to you and your loved ones any day.
