Didn't you play the retarded quarterback?
Jason writes that the film Garden State is for "twentysomethings who just want to say that they liked something." He adds: "It tried to be about 14 different things but never really decided what to say about any of them, so it ended up being about kissing Natalie Portman." As for me, I enjoyed most of the 14 things the film tried to be. But mostly, I enjoyed the soundtrack, which currently is my favorite CD.
This weekend, I found out that Adam didn't think much of Garden State either. It seems to me that everyone seems to be placing very high standards on this film. As a coming-of-age film, is it the Graduate? No. But if that's the standards by which we grade movies, we're going to be disappointed a lot.

I didn't like The Graduate, either.
What's wrong with kissing Natalie Portman?
And now everybody's saying "Elizabethtown" is Garden State 2005. With an equally interesting soundtrack, I'd argue, but then I always like soundtracks. I thought both movies were a grand way to spend a few hours. Plus the road trip in E'town is worth the price of admission. (to me).
Nothing's *wrong* with kissing Natalie Portman; I just don't want to pay $9.50 to watch some other guy do it.
For the record, "Kissing Jessica Stein" was a much more interesting movie.
