I saw "Garden State" this past weekend.

I was kind of...underwhelmed, I guess.

1. sounds like the movie takes after the real thing

:evilgrin:

2. Best movie I have seen in at least three years

Extremely well done especially considering how cheaply it was made.

Zach Braff is very talented-I knew he was in the movie but it wasn't until the first credit popped up that I knew that he wrote and directed it too. Exec.Producer of the soundtrack too (I can't stop listening to that damned thing).

3. I kind of liked how understated it was.

It sort of underscored the lead characters' malaise, I think. Though I will say that I suspect one of the main reasons Zach Braff made the film was there was no other way he could make out with Natalie Portman.

5. Films have been made for worse reasons.

9. Whoopi Goldberg did "Made in America"

so she could hook up with Ted Danson. :scared:

11. Films have been made for worse reasons.

Steve Guttenberg did Three Men and a Little Lady so he could hook up with Ted Danson. Again.

Let that visual fester for a while.

4. I've seen it at least 20 times

I fucking love it. I don't know what it is about it, but it's just one of those movies I can't get enough of.

And the soundtrack is one of the best I've ever heard.

6. Who is on the soundtrack?

I haven't seen it yet.

7. Very slow/soft/melodic/(insert description)

8. I immediately loved the soundtrack.

Peter Sarsgaard (sp) is one of my favorite young actors, as is Zach Braff and Natalie Portman.

I wasn't blown away by it but it was a sweet and understated little movie.

10. I SO looked forward to it but was so disappointed. The preview

was great - but it makes sense - the movie was mostly a bunch of interesting looking scenes strung together with no real meat - so of course the preview would look good.
