    Just back from seeing Garden State

    and I rather liked it. Some bits of it were a bit to close to home for me lately but I went into the film knowing very little about it and ended up thinking it was a very sweet film but not so sweet my teeth hurt.

    I suspect it is in the way of films like Lost In Translation in that not everyone will like the style but i did...so 3 stars out of 4 from me. Lost a star because it was a bit self aware at times but I can overlook that for the number of positives in the rest of the film.

          It was a good movie, but there was only one reason I saw it ;)

            I have it here from Netflix and since you and I usually like the same flicks, tonight it will be Garden State

                My girlfriend made me watch that awful movie. I would rather chew my arm off than watch that again.

                  great flick- as a neurotic Jew who grew up back east and lives out in Cali it hit too close to home...

                  Throw in the fact that I have been on TV nationally and it's the first thing I get when I come " I saw you on tv"

                  (Granted I don't play a retard in my tv appearances)
                  at least I don't intend to
                  :-))

                    yeah, like I said, I figured it is one of those you either like or don't. I bet you didn't like Lost In Translation, huh?

                            I loved it, but I'm a bit biased. I adore Natalie Portman.

                              OK, watched it tonight. I liked it, but didn't love it. I did think it was very clever in many of the "jokes" and literally LOL several times 4 stars

                                  Just watched the DVD of this one. Great flick. Reminded me a lot of Good Will Hunting. Excellent soundtrack and Zach mixed it in with the various themes brilliantly.

                                  This was a breath of fresh air. Funny, yet sad at times, but leaves you full of promise.

                                    I thought Lost In Transalation was overrated, but really liked Garden State...

                                      I loved Garden State, and consider it my favorite movie of 2004....
                                      however, I hated Lost in Translation.

                                      I think you're completely coming out of left field with that comparison.

                                        I thought Lost In Translation was so severely overrated it was sickening. But, when you have Coppola in your name great things happen even when they aren't warrented. I'm a huge Bill Murray fan and I think the girl is the hottest in Hollywood, but even that couldn't save the incomplete dialogue and lackluster script.

                                          It was boring as hell. Chick flick.

                                            well glad I didn't fall totally flat on the suggestion The knight outfit was one of the unexpected images I have seen on the screen in a while and certainly got us loling.
