What a movie

I’ve been a fan of Scrubs for a little while now, and a fan of Zach Braff. If you don’t know what Scrubs is, it’s an American Sitcom based on Interns in a Hospital called Sacred Heart, It sounds totally boring by my relatively un-imaginitave description but it’s a great show, with a bit of drama in the mix too, and the music that gets featured in Scrubs is great (I have now added all the songs from Scrubs: Season One into my music collection).

And if you don’t know who Zach Braff is, well he’s JD in Scrubs and he’s the main character, the stupid guy. But anyway, I guess Zach Braff hasn’t really done anything else other than Scrubs, here’s when Garden State comes along..

Garden State is such an odd but original film, I wouldn’t say it’s a comedy, it’s a romance, but then again there are some totally weird scenes. It’s just a weird film, set around the main character named Andrew Largeman who comes back home to New Jersey, for his Mothers Funeral. Back home, he avoids his father and meets with his old friends for rounds of parties. In a doctors office, he meets a girl named Sam, an epileptic who has a lust for life and music. She inspires Andrew to feel things that his medication long denied him. He develops feelings for Sam he didn’t know he was capable of, and faces up to the resentment his father holds toward him about an accident that happened long ago. It’s an emotional ride, but to me, it’s a must see.

The music in Garden State has been picked by Zach Braff himself too, all of it is brilliant and has really added to the emotion of the film, although maybe it’s best seen only the once. Note - I would insert a little image of Garden State but it messes the formatting up so it’s best not eh?

Hope you enjoyed my little summary of Garden State, it is a brilliant movie and Zach Braff is brilliant in it. Excuse me while I watch some Scrubs now..
