One of my favorites, really touched me insides (SPOILERS)

Rating: Null/10 (30 August 2004)

A semi-successful actor guy played by Zach Braff (Scrubs) returns home to NJ
for his mother's funeral after avoiding his Dad for 10 years. He meets up with his old school buddies who are stuck in senior year, successfully shakes his life- long prescription of Lithium and, as he rises out of 20 year over-medicated haze begins to see that life can be warm and tasty. With the help of his new love
interest Sam, played by Natalie Portman, the guy learns about love and even
makes amends with his rigid father. Garden State was one of the of the best
movies I've seen in a long time. This is a must-see. It was hysterical in parts, sad and tender in others and overall I left the theater with a greater respect for gardening.
