Garden State (DVD) Reviews

I was rather intrigued to see Garden State sitting proudly in the mid 300s in Empire's 500 best films of all time, but also rather confused as I'd never heard of it and was surprised to hear that the quirky dude from Scrubs, Zach Braff, wrote, directed and starred in it. I needed no further intrigue to watch it, and when I spotted it on ...  Read the complete review

Garden State is a wonderful film from Scrubs star Zach Braff who both wrote, directed and stared in the film alongside Natalie Portman. The film is rather quirky just like his character in Scrubs JD and it is a nice flowing story with some nice charcter development in it. It is a story of self discovery and frinedship with a nice feel ...  Read the complete review

Garden State is Zach Braff's (familiar to many as JD out of Scrubs) first venture into movies. Not only is he the lead actor in this movie, but he also wrote and directed it. Any fans of him will therefore be fascinated to see what he's put together. The result is an original, quirky, and cool romantic comedy - not like the ...  Read the complete review

This film is writte and directed by Zach Braff who is JD in Scrubs, he also stars in the film which is a sometimes quirky but rather enjoyable little drama about a man returning home and finding himself. Braff plays Andrew Largeman who is a 26 year old singleton living in Los Angeles trying to make it as an actor and like many ...  Read the complete review

If your into your indie films, something a little bit different and slightly strange. This film could well be for you. Garden State came out five years ago back in 2004. Directed by and staring Zach Braff (of scrubs fame) the story tells of a young man returning to his home town for his mothers funeral. The lead character Andrew ...  Read the complete review

This is one of my favourite movies ever! I rarely watch a film more than once, but I have watched this film loads of times! This is a quirky love story everyone can enjoy! Playing the character Andrew, not only does Zach Braff (from Scrubs) star in the film he wrote and directed it too! The story is enchanting, but it's the characters ...  Read the complete review

Garden State is one of my favourite movies and I will definitely purchase the Blu Ray when it is released. It is a Drama about a lithium medicated actor named Andrew Largemen (Zach Braff). Braff both directs and stars in this genius film. It doesn't really have a beginning, middle and end like you normally expect, but in terms ...  Read the complete review

Being a fan of Scrubs I watched this purely for the Zach Braff link, I can honestly say I was not expecting anything with the depth and appeal of this and so it was a wholly pleasent surprise. Its not to say that I dont think Braff is talented, I think he is great in Scrubs but its hardly the most intellectually challenging ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Lovely, original film starring Zach Braff as a wannabe actor Andrew Largeman returning to his small-town home after the death of his mother. He's been depressed for years, and medicated by his totally screwed-up and up-tight psychiatrist father (Ian Holm) with whom he has a difficult relationship to put it mildly. While back ...  Read the complete review

I absolutely loved this witty, intriguing, and extremely interesting film. It is rather strange and has some very weird scenes, but the strangeness that it has is one of my favorite aspects of this movie. Zack Braff, from Scrubs, and Natalie Portman do an excellent job playing their colorful characters in this entertaining movie. This is ...  Read the complete review

I actually love this Film! Natalie Portman is the helpless lyer, who falls for the misunderstood Andrew Largeman, played by the excellent Zach Braff. The story explores the idea of not only love but being able to move on in life after a terrible experience, and is accompanied by an equally awsome soundtrack that is just the icing on the ...  Read the complete review
