Garden State My Ass

So this guy Zack Braff has a blog. That's pretty cool. But I really didn't like Garden State much, a super faux-intellectual film that wasn't quite funny enough or poignant enough to get my attention. Every jack-ass wannabe of my generation, though, seems like like the film and I could quite possibly just be way off in my assessment. It did feel like a movie I could have written, if there wasn't anyone to beat the pretention out of me. At the same time, the guy laid out his heart on the page, so I'll give him that. It's just I'm not sure that particular heart has all that much to say.

And for godsake, is Natalie Portman still 14 years old?
