Legit...

Rating: 10/10 (3 August 2004)

Like everyone else invading these forums, I found the trailers superb. I caught the movie this last Sunday at The Grove in L.A. I walk into the theatre expecting to find it at most half full. To my surprise, the theatre was packed...at an 11 am show....11 am?! Hopefully this movie earns the right to run nationwide, because after watching the film, it sure deserves it. Well written, well directed, and well acted by all of the cast. Though I'de say quite different from the trailers, the film still was up to par. The film covers a spectrum of emotions, and I found myself laughing at some pretty random things. Braff has a big future if he continues in the directing/writing department. Portman puts up quite a performance, finally breaking away from her Queen Amadala role. (thank god) Music...awesome. The images...one can really relate to. so many times in this movie I found myself recalling a time when I was in Zach's shoes, facing the same issues he was dealing with. I can't wait to pick this one up on DVD, make a great one for the collection. Anyway, if you haven't seen the film, I highly recommend you make your way to the theatre to see it, well worth the wait and hype.
