This movie was so good! It's about a guy in his mid-twenties who goes home to New Jersey for his mother's funeral. It follows him through a few days at home after being away. There are some great characters peppered throughout the film and it plays into the belief that we actually need to feel the things we try to supress with antidepressants. Definitely worth checking out.

I agree, this was a fantastic movie! We're huge Zach Braff fans ("Scrubs" on NBC), so we were both really excited to see this. It's a quirky, typical indie movie - really enjoyable!~Jane

OK, my sister had talked me out of adding this to my Netflix queue (she thought it was slow and didn't have much of a plot), but after reading your reviews, I'm going to get it anyway. I love Zach Braff, although I can't for the life of me figure out what in the hell happened to Scrubs. It used to be on Thursday night but the last several times I've tried to watch it, it hasn't been on.Awake is the new sleep!

Add me to the "liked it" column. I think if you liked Lost in Translation this one is probably worth checking out, but I'd give Lost in Translation an A and Garden State a B.Married to a hematopathologist seven years out of training.

I really liked it- but it's a quirky kind of movie. It's pretty angst ridden at times, and the 'funny' parts are just as often 'funny' in that 'please don't ever let that happen to me' kind of funny.
I thought he did a good job and if he does another movie- I'll go. I also thought the helmet parts were funny- but that's probably because I have known so many people who have had to do that.
