Garden State (2004)

I have mixed feelings about this movie, actually. At the very beginning of the film I though to myself, "Hmm, this might just be a little too weird and indie for me." Then it settled down and became quite fascinating to watch, with some really good dialogue. And then, out of the blue, in jumped a silly romantic comedy ending that left me going, "Wait. What? No!" This was clearly a drama (albeit one with a sense of humor), and should have ended as such.

However, I was really very interested in the middle of the movie. As I said, great dialogue, and the characters were really interesting. So three and a half stars for the middle of the movie. It's too bad they had to goof all that up with the end, though. Meh. 3.5 stars.
