*** Mild Spoilers ***
Garden State: concerning a young man who has been heavily medicated virtually forever which accounts for his missed childhood and adolescence, and thankfully is forced to face reality by a throng of strange events, people, and his own taste of happiness. The viewer is pleased to watch the seamless development of a beautiful character. A perfect soundtrack accompanies the direction of a superb cast. Even method man somehow fits. Eye candy via well-thought cinematography abounds.
This is a clever, hysterically humorous and sad film that could have gone wrong frequently, but, miraculously never does. Zach Braff might be a prodigy.
No movie is perfect but I can't imagine how this could have been better.
9.5/10
