DESCRIPTION
Writer/Director Zach Braff delivers "an Oscar®-worthy performance" CBS-TV Chicago opposite a "wacky and endearing" Newsweek Natalie Portman in this quirky, coming-of-age comedy. Twentysomething, emotionally detached Andrew "Large" Largeman Braff hasn’t been home to New Jersey in nine years. Now, as Large attempts to re-connect with a variety of odd acquaintances – including his father – he decides to risk getting high on the most potent and unpredictable drug there is…life! Co-starring Peter Sarsgaard, Ian Holm and Method Man, Garden State is "marvelous fun" Rolling Stone
Zach Braff from the TV show Scrubs stars in his writing/directing debut, Garden State--normally a doomed act of hubris, but Braff pulls it off with unassuming charm. An emotionally numb actor in L.A., Andrew Braff comes back to New Jersey after nine years away for his mother's funeral. Andrew avoids his bitter father Ian Holm, The Sweet Hereafter and joins old friends including the superb Peter Sarsgaard, Boys Don't Cry in a round of parties. Along the way he meets a girl Natalie Portman, Beautiful Girls with demons of her own; bit by bit the two offer each other a little healing. Plotwise, Garden State is familiar stuff, a cross between The Graduate and a Meg Ryan movie, but Braff has an eye for goofy but resonant visual images, an ear for lively dialogue, and a great cast. The result is surprisingly fresh and funny. --Bret Fetzer
