An indie film in every sense of the word, with a cast of quirky characters, strange locations and bizarre scenarios to boot. The film is still beautiful. The soundtrack compliments the film extremely well, as you'd expect with Zach Braff in charge of the tunes.

A love story unfolds between Zach Braff and Natalie Portman after his character returns home, after a long period away, to ... read more

Had really high expectations for this film, probably unrealistically. As a first time effort, the movie was done admirably. However, I was somewhat disappointed after watching it. Zach Braff, the writer/director/lead actor of the film, has created a sincere work that has moments of brilliance but can't quite get there. It has heart, humour and just right amount of quirkiness and edge to keep the m... read more

This movie is great! Zach Braff proved he is not only an amazing actor but also a good writer and director.
The movie is about life and how you choose to live it. It's all about simplicity. What makes this movie so good are the dialogues and how the story is told. And besides, the soundtrack is simply perfect, all the songs fit perfectly with the scenes in which they're played.

A/S/L? Artist? Song? Lyrics? (10 movies items)

" Artist: The Shins Song: "New Slang" Zach Braff overhyped The Shins a little, writing this movie in which a character says that one of their songs will "change your life". It really is a damn good song, though. One of several songs by The Shins that I started listening to after seeing this movie and have continued to enjoy for many years since. "

" Cynical Person Could Hate " (8 movies items)

" There exists a sizeable contingent of people who don’t like Garden State. I don’t deny their existence. All I deny is their human capability to feel. This movie expresses something about feelings experienced by people in their 20s that eludes most movies depicting folks in that demographic. "

"Okay, to be honest, I don't really think this, but I already have the movie I do believe has the best soundtrack listed as my favorite movie overall, but this one has a very good one. "

" I have to take half a star from Garden State because it came to my mind for the first time that this kitsch is hardly to take. But there are still a lot of scenes in it which will always be burned in my mind and I still love its soundtrack. I've seen it so many times now, that it lost something from its sheen. "
