Garden State was a really pleasant watch; "pleasant" seems like a very apt way to describe it. Zach Braff wrote, directed and starred in it and he did a pretty good job. The cinematography's really... neat. Every shot's so meticulously composed and the colours are all really nice. In that respect at least, it reminds me a lot of Wes Anderson's visual style. The soundtrack's great, the dialogue's natural, and while the plot's not exactly groundbreaking, it's just overall a really likeable film. Plus Natalie Portman's cute in it, so that's a huge plus. I'd completely forgotten everything I might have read about it by the time I got around to watching it, so I went in blind and it was honestly better off for it. Pleasant film/10.

The first two thirds were really enjoyable. A drama which doesn't take itself all too serious. And Zach Braff is a perfect cast for the melancholic and cynic Andrew. But the ending is lame and much too stereotypical! What should this crap with the mother's necklace? And why the fuck doesn't Andrew just leave? Does he REALLY have to go back to Sam?

Good things: Zach Braff and Natalie Portman playing slightly quirky And those were the only two reasons I managed to watch until the end Not unpleasant, but entirely forgettable

This movie hits a lot of different notes and feels especially ahead of its time. It's quite an impressive directorial debut for Zach Braff and it definitely feels quintessentially 2000s. The soundtrack is amazing and was nostalgic for me personally, since I started listening to a lot of music around this time and indie music was just starting to become accepted by bigger budget movies. Anyone that has seen a psychologist or taken psych medications will really be able to relate to this. The main character is on lots of psych meds and it plays a fairly large part in the plot. If it seems like Zach Braff's acting is really flat, that's an intentional choice. Natalie Portman's character can be annoying in a few scenes, but it's also kinda endearing if you give it a chance.

I was not sure about what to expect from this film. I heard a lot of good stuff about it since it came out but I did not even know anything about the story. I finally decided to see it and despite having read all of those good reviews, the truth is that I was unable to connect with it. It let me alw More

Interesting and sometimes funny but with an aim of being more transcendental than what it actually is.
