Alright, I'm a little behind on the movie scene, but I was able to catch Garden State last week.

Definitely an impressive film. Terrific soundtrack (which I now have), great writing, flawless acting...but the ending, the ending was..oh so focus group.

The well-crafted story reflects a lost soul in a so-called disillusioned world and after peeling-away at layers, the truth and hope is found.

The actors did an excellent job with their characters, so hopefully Braff will proceed as a writer and a director.

If it weren't for the ending, I would have absolutely 100% loved it. Unfortunately, the ending reminded me of Roger Doger's ending...good film, bad ending. I prefer if characters don't come full circle, only because they are supposed to be portraying real people.

Either way, I highly recommend the film. It was strong, funny and smart..what more can you ask for?
