Speaks for a specific generation?

Rating: 7/10 (5 July 2006)

I think Zach Braff's work speaks for any generation...around the same age. What makes the movie work is the great use of music that tempers the lead-ins to the next thought in the script. However, it's an old way of doing things...but it's a great musical set up for each sequence.
The critique that this story is the film of the 80's generation is knee jerk; it's a great film....I hope Zach can repeat this success. However, the selection of music is not unlike Simon & Garfunkel or Cat Stevens; folk music of that rolls along with each theme sequence that's about the same tempo/pace of the story line. There's no obnoxious music or obnoxious roles here....just a great little tale that Zach moved from paper to screen.
