An Endearing and Enjoyable Romantic Comedy

Garden State (2004)
Directed by Zach Braff, rated R, 102 minutes

Garden State
is a charming and beautifully made romantic comedy about a quiet and lonesome young man who returns home because his mother dies, after he's been estranged from his family for many years. Zach Braff is terrific as the lead, delivering a sad but likable performance, and his chemistry with Natalie Portman is fantastic. The story is a little slow moving, but the characters are relatable, the music is perfect and there are plenty of hilarious parts. Garden State is an emotionally powerful independent film, filled with unforgettably moving scenes. You'll like it if: You like independent comedy, romantic comedies, Zach Braff, Little Miss Sunshine, Kicking and Screaming or The Graduate.
