ADG and I saw Garden State the other day; and I, for one, absolutely loved it.

I really wanted to see this movie the moment I heard about it. Perhaps it was because, as a fan of Scrubs, I was stoked to see anything with Zach Braff in it. Perhaps it was because (more likely) anythign written, directed, and starred in by someone my age makes me wistful for my own Renaissance Man dreams. Perhaps (most likely) it was because Natalie Portman is in it. Whatever the case, I highly recommend it.

To me, it had the subtle comedy of Rushmore and Lost in Translation combined with some of the surrealness of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Then again, it is none of those things.

Yet more than those things.

Look, it’s just a really excellent movie.
