Not perfect, but very good

Rating: 10/10 (16 October 2004)

This flick deserves a solid 8 (out of 10) in my book.
The storyline is nothing special, but great acting from Natalie
Portman and Peter Sarsgaard.
Peter. Garden State is sensational and realistic which make it quite
intriguing to many people.
Unlike many movies these days, GS has a heart and soul.
Overall, a very good movie. Well written, amazing performances,
lovable characters (especially Sam, she's so adorable) and beautiful
scenery.
Although it's too early to say "He's the next big thing", Zach Braff
did show a lot of potential in writing and directing. GO Zach! I give
Natalie Portman credits for having the guts to turn down blockbusters
and doing small-yet-good-quality works. She proves time and again that
she's the actress of her generation, not just a hot movie star.
I'm waiting for the DVD to come.
