Zach Braff wrote, directed, and stars in a fresh look at staleness. The young Ray Ramano clone plays a character named Andrew Largemen, a depressed & pill-filled young actor, who comes home from LA to attend his mother's funeral. There he finds most of his old friends in seemingly meaningless existences as well. It's a pretty miserable world until he meets Sam (Natalie Portman).As soon as Sam enters the picture Andrew's life begins to regain its long-lost color. The rest of the movie is filled with interesting characters, Portman's cuteness, and a quest for the meaning of life. The best thing about this movie, however, is the realistic dialogue. A lot of the conversation was familiar to me, very down-to-earth. The movie kinda peaks in the middle, but has a good ending. The commentary (Braff & Portman) is worth a listen as well.
Rating: 8.1
