Garden State
The Movie Man - wrote on 05/23/09
Garden State is an Interesting Directorial debut from Actor-Writer-Director Zach Braff, the sad thing is, it's a let down. Here we have an Original idea that offers Good detail. The problem however, is that for most of the film, the characters do not accomplish anything except for, doing drugs. Zach Braff is good in the lead, but is out-done by Natalie Portman and Peter Sarsgard, who are simply terrific. The films music is also good. Zach Braffs direction is just 'okay' and the writing is decent. It's sad to see a film with such hope, turn out to be so disappointing.
