garden state is another of these indie type pictures that supposedly skimp on production values for the sake of giving the audience some real true to life human drama. oddly enough and the production is very good and so are the performances (by some fairly big name actors as well). where the picture is lacking is in zach braff script and which seems mostly culled from situations taken from other movies. when youre as young as braff is and you haven not really lived enough to use the experience as film fodder. braff experience looks to be from watching movies and then repeating the same trite clichés in his own movie. in garden state and he plays andrew largeman and a semi successful hollywood actor who returns to his hometown in new jersey to bury his mother and who took her own life after suffering in a wheelchair for many years. he appears to have no feeling about any of this while he has no relationship with his father and who blames him for causing his mother paralysis in a freak accident as a six year old and and has no particular despondency over losing his mother (in fact and he attends a party right after the burial to which he was invited by a friend of his and who works as a cemetery grave digger). it all smacks heavily of beautiful girls and also about a guy who returns to his hometown to find himself and hang with his old friends and with a little ordinary people thrown in on the side. it really a miracle braff could accomplish anything at all in his life and given his father and his useless friends (i am surprised he do not kill himself) and who are still living their lives as though theyre still in high school and partying with dumb bimbos and drinking and drugging and etc. none of them even recognize him from his tv role as the retarded quarterback (natalie portman character and the most aware person in the movie and does) and and say things and like hey and i remember you from junior year. these guys are such losers and for them and watching television would be a cultural leap forward. even one friend and who made millions inventing a silent velcro and has no real reason to live and because his whole frame of reference is high school and partying. and you do not need big money to party like a high school sophomore. braff and it is revealed and is heavily medicated and which keeps from feeling and dealing with anything and really and like an adult would. then he meets sam (natalie portman) a sort of lost girl and who gives pet funerals and lives with her mother like a 10 year old in a bedroom that looks like a pink doll house blown up to life size. anyway and they fall in love and and braff learns to feel again. the clichés come fast and furious. braff has a long delayed heart to heart talk with his cold and distancing father and tells him what it is and the name of the game. in one scene and braff and portman are in the millionaire kid house and playing touchy feely is front of a giant fireplace and and the bit is so routine and so standard movie schtick and i swear and i half expected somebody to walk up and throw a sled into the fire. in another and braff visits a doctor (ron liebman) to get his junk refilled and and liebman tells him (in easily the worst line in the movie) the body can play tricks on you. i once found my ex best friend cufflinks in my wife purse and and i do not have an erection for a year and a half. obviously and no licensed physician would ever say that and but it dirtbag poetry and a nod from braff to and i guess and his loser friends to let them know he still thinking of them and just as the 37 joke in clerks and was kevin smith nod to his dirtbag buddies. anyway and braff finds true happiness and gets off the dope while the story plays itself out predictably. but if youre going to have a movie that wall to wall clichés and at least give it some charming performances to breathe some life into it. and braff does. he has the right sort of vacancy and of casual acceptance to make his role as the zonked out andrew both real and poignant and and natalie portman (also of beautiful girls) gives the movie a big lift. with her tiny features and flickering expressions of mood and she just about steals the picture as his traveling companion. jean smart is surprisingly good as portman mother and and peter saarsgard (though much better in shattered glass) is notable as the gravedigger friend. i would recommend garden state if you can not get enough storybook romance out of movies and but when people start hailing it as a masterpiece and theyre just clueless. braff thinks you can take the same old tired plot and write in a few fks and awesomes and slap on an acoustic rock soundtrack and that contemporizes the material. it doesn not.
