One of the most incredible films I have ever seen.

Rating: 10/10 (4 September 2004)

Zach Braff's directorial debut is amazing, there is no better way to put it. The movie made me laugh, cry, and feel love for it's character's. This is easily Natalie Portman's best role, and she (and Braff) deserve awards for their incredible work. As I watched, I went from thinking this was a good movie, to a great movie, and ending on damn near perfect. The point where it really changed for me, when I really fell in love with the character's (Portman's esspecially) was when Sam tap danced; she proved her sweet innocence and gave me one of the biggest smiles I have ever seen. Braff's character, Andrew Largemen, is so well written, I thought it was written about everyone who wants out of small town America. The entire cast, soundtrack (which is phenomenal), and the crew did great work to make an American masterpiece here. Please, go see this film, you will feel better after doing so!
