Garden State (2004)

Garden State: Directed by Zach Braff. With Zach Braff, Kenneth Graymez, George C. Wolfe, Austin Lysy. A quietly troubled young man returns home for his mother’s funeral after being estranged from his family for a decade.

“This is a really watchable film from a great new young director. Zach Braff, you may well know from the brilliant scrubs, writes and directs this very competent film. Basically it is a simple plot about a few days in the life of a man coming back to his home town for his mums funeral. Anyway what is really interesting in this film is the relationships between characters especially Zachu0026#39;s character and his dad and between Zach and Natalie Portmanu0026#39;s character. There is a lot of quirky humour and surreal daydreams that can be seen as a direct influence from scrubs. If you liked Donnie Darko you should enjoy this, yet if also if you thought Donnie Darko was a pile of sentimental, surreal dross you should find that this is a much better and more u0026#39;realu0026#39; film. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is a film well worth watching”
