Writer/Director Braff has carried over some of his unique sensibilities from 'Garden State', only this time he has added in usual tropes. The result is mixed. The narrative is concrete, in his second outing, but certain scenes felt like a blatant attempt at cliche movie sappiness. There are predictable crying scenarios containing random philosophical dialogue that just felt forced coming from these people. Other times the characters were much more engaging in a non conventional way. Those interactions shined through with genuine fun and good comedy. I enjoyed it in doses. Wish parts of it weren't so on-the-nose.
