Zach braff plays and depressed man who doesnt know where his life is going. He goes back home to his mothers funeral, spends some time with his father. There relationship is very strained and finds him self in a girl. That sums up the plot of the movie but its the way it is executed on screen that makes this a must see. It isnt you simple romance film, it is awkward and so real it jumps out at you.

Zach braff's character is wonderfully played, you can see he is bored of his life and his portrayel is impressive. The moments where he speaks with his father plaed by ian holm are odd but funny and tragic at the same time. They can never really connect. he goes to the doctors in his home town where he meets natalie portman who plays a compulsive liar who find's it hard to tell the truth but seems herself around him. gradually they learn a lot about eachother and fall in love. The characters in this film are wonderfull and have lot of quirks. The music is also well chose for the film and adds a lot of great moments. Points to zach braff for writing and directing this movie. He shows great potential for future projects. This film is certainly woth the watch
