“This film, anticipated as a u0026quot;sequelu0026quot; to Garden State(itu0026#39;s not at all, stop calling it that) only shares some similar elements to itu0026#39;s predecessor yet doesnu0026#39;t really maintain any of the charm. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOn a technical level, itu0026#39;s really well put together and amazing for being a Kickstarter project.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe biggest issue with this film is that they simply did not put enough effort into actually writing something that was coherent nor providing any artistic merit. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s all style and virtually no substance which causes it to eventually lag throughout, what seemed to be, the second act. This style easily worked with Garden State given that it was a film about feeling aimless in life, however it doesnu0026#39;t work the second time around. There seems to be a lot of story lines that donu0026#39;t really go anywhere or provide anything to the main plot and the fantasy sequences serve NO purpose whatsoever. Itu0026#39;s a lot like an artificial sweetener in that it tastes good at the beginning but ends up leaving a weird taste in your mouth.”
