Last year, one of the most insightful and intriguing films was released: Garden State, written and directed by the Scrubs guy, Zach Braff. I watched this movie with great anticipation and I must say, it delivered well beyond my expectations. It manages to cover some fairly serious issues, such as death, relationships, the impact of love, fear, loss and apathy. I was moved to tears several times but also found laughter in the most uncomfortable of situations...this is truly excellent scripting.
A couple of stand out lines from the film that made their way into my memory:

"I'm ok with being unimpressive, I sleep better."

"If you can't laugh at yourself, life is going to seem a lot longer than you'd like."

Do yourself a big favor and don't miss this movie.
The soundtrack is pretty flavorful too.
