Title: Garden State
Post by: Sikotic™ on August 21, 2004, 02:53:47 PM: This movie surprised me. One of the best I've seen this year. I was expecting some boring indy film, but I enjoyed it very much. Check it out.

Post by: Sikotic™ on August 21, 2004, 04:49:07 PM: You should see it. I can almost guarantee you won't be disappointed. It was one of the funniest movies that came out, funnier than anything by Will Farrell or Ben Stiller because Zach Braff's humor is based on real life and things that you can relate to.

Amazing movie though, right now its definitley my movie of the year, but thats probably cause Zach Braff is one of my favorites. Id go see it again, infact I wanted to go see it tonight but they don't show a movie past 10:00 here in fuckin wack ass orange county.

Anyways I loved how real the movie was, the way he played the character was just amazing, I loved the character and all of his situations and how he thought and went about things.

Post by: Rampant on January 04, 2005, 07:32:22 AM: ive been waiting for this to come out on DVD so i could see it. Im gonna go rent it soon, heard alot of good things about it.

I got this off imdb for seer

Andrew Largeman shuffled through life in a lithium-induced coma until his mother's death inspired a vacation from the pills to see what might happen. A moderately successful TV actor living in Los Angeles, "Large" hasn't been home to the Garden State in nine years. But even with 3,000 miles between them, he's been unable to escape his domineering father Gideon and the silencing effect he's had on his son from afar. Stunned to find himself in his hometown after such a long absence, Large finds old acquaintances around every corner living quite unique lives as gravediggers, fast food knights and the panderers of pyramid schemes. Meanwhile, at home, he does his best to avoid a long-simmering but inevitable confrontation with his father. By a twist of fate, Large meets Sam, a girl who is everything he isn't. A blast of color, hope and quirks, Sam becomes a sidekick who refuses to ride in his sidecar. Her warmth and fearlessness give Large the courage to open his heart to the joy and pain of the infinite abyss that is life.

Post by: JMan on August 26, 2007, 02:44:32 PM: whats peoples thoughts on this?.. i watched it not knowing what to expect from it, all i knew was that zach braff and the lovely natalie portman were the main stars.. but damn i really enjoyed this movie, cant quiet put my finger on why i liked it so much, but i think cause it had an original storyline you could just follow with a lot of subtle humor.. kinda reminded me of "lost in translation" with the way the film was shot and directed.

Post by: Now_Im_Not_Banned on August 27, 2007, 01:36:00 AM: It was pretty good, something different with a more natural feel. I dunno about it being funnier than any Ben Stiller or Will Farrell though.

Post by: E-L-P on August 27, 2007, 08:32:07 AM: I thought it was a great movie. Natalie Portman looks gorgeous, the comedy is on point, the music is outstanding.
