GARDEN STATE (2004 - R)

The film tells of one man's personal quest back to his childhood roots in Newark, New Jersey after the death of his mother beckons his homecoming. During his four day trip he will confront the many skeletons in his father, beginning with his strained father-son relationship and his incessant drug-induced semi-comatose state. When the unlikely presence of a euphoric Sam walks into his life it seems for the first time Andrew Largeman may actually learn to "feel" his way through life's adventures; both good and bad.

The cast includes: Zach Braff, Natalie Portman, Ian Holm, and Peter Sarsgaard.

Written and directed: Zach Braff.

The GARDEN STATE Review

 Genre: Drama, Comedy, Romance.

Rated: R for language, drug use, and a scene of sexuality.

Tagline: "Garden State" is the uncanny comedic drama that's
as lighthearted as it is substantially reflective and introspective.
