Okay I dont know what people mean by porn or racistness. It didn`t include any of that! This was a movie about coming of age and a fine one if I do say so myself. I heard from a friend that it was a good movie and i had heard many good reviews so i rented it. I must have watched it about five times I enjoyed it so. I recently bought it and have mentioned it many friends. But this movie is one of those you either like it or not. There`s no inbetween. I liked it. But i have mentioned to friends who dont understand it no matter how much i explain and some that dislike it alot. but then i have alot of friends who liked it do much they went out

This is one of those movies that`s just like no other. I had heard so many great things about it from friends. I`d read so many great reviews. So I went out one night, and rented it. I watched it the next night, and I can truly say that it helped change my view on life, and my view on specific films. The film didn`t help change my life, it just helped me to view things differently. After viewing `Garden State`, I borrowed `Eternal Sunshine` from a friend, and I loved that film. A few other films that were like `Garden State` were `Undertow` and `The Pallbearer`. All of these movies I believe I wouldn`t have enjoyed as much if I hadn`t seen `G

Incredible but it is one those movies that you`re into or not. If you are into the movie you will see very good performance by such actors as Ian Holm, Natalie Portman and Zach Braff who also wrote the screenplay and also produced and directed if I am not mistaken. The movie doesn`t really seem like a low-budget movie even though it may be. Dramatic and funny at the same time. You never get bored. Best money I`ve ever spent.

I`m often made fun of because I tell people this movie changed my life. I mean, how can a movie do that? But for me...this movie was so life-affirming I couldn`t help but walk away changed. We all go through tough stuff in life, and if you`ve ever had to experience depression you can relate to what these characters go through. All I could think about afterwards were the changes that I wanted to make in my life, how to see my life differently, and what it is in life that really matters. Such an amazing movie. Not one person I`ve recommended it to has disliked it. It`s true, moving and incredibly real. Probably the best movie I`ve ever s

This incredible movie was recommended to me by so many people, and i read so many great reviews, that i just really wanted to go out and rent it. So I did, and I watched it by myself the next evening. This was one of the best and well written, thoughtout movies I`ve ever seen. Zach Braff is an icredible young talent, and I expect to see more great things from him in the future (in both acting and directing departments). Natalie Portman, is just amazing to watch in this character, and just adds to the movie`s great content. The beginning was a little strange and weird, but when Natalie Portman came into the picture, it just turned into a diffe

I loved how they portrayed love in this movie. They showed it as a happy joyous thing which we rarely see anymore

Not very good. Very slow numbing movie. Also, there are some annoying overacting stoner characters in the early going who don`t have much of a vocabulary.
