Review of Garden State (2004) by Jef C — 30 Sep 2017
An enjoyable, offbeat romantic comedy that isn't markedly romantic in the conventional sense until the end. In between a string of hedonistically quirky events centered around old friends who in many cases haven't quite figured out how to become fulfilled adults, twenty-something Andrew Largeman (played by Zach Braff, who some of us still immediately associate with "Scrubs") slowly realizes a series of fundamental truths about himself and life in general with help from an unusual girl he meets in a waiting room. Eventually he grasps a message that changes his life.
Move features a Grammy-winning soundtrack that includes Coldplay, The Shins, Colin Hay, et al.
