Today I saw one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life. "Garden State". The only thing tolerable about the movie was bathingsuit and barefoot shots of the lovely Ms Natalie Portman. Other than that, this was (In my opinion) one of the worst movies I have ever sat through.
"Garden State" is the somber, and rather disjointed story of a young man who returns home to New Jersey following his mother's accidental death. While it appears that the premise for the movie might have been for the young man to reconnect with his estranged family, and to work out his troublesome relationship with his father, the film instead turns out to be a drug loaded haze of muddle with scenes apparently leading to nowhere. While our main character does manage to have sex with the lovely Natalie, even the romance part does a fizzle with no clear tying up (No bondage pun intended) of the premise of the story.
So, in short, if anyone was intending to see this film, my advice is to pass on it, or, at best, if you feel you must see it, wait until video or pay per view as it is not, in my opinion, worth the 6, 8 or 10 dollars American, (Or any amount of any currency, of course) it will cost you to get into see this movie.
Has anyone else seen this movie? What is your opinion? I see many movies through the year, and rarely do I feel so harsh toward a movie. Usually I will either like a movie, feeling it entertaining, or at least worthy of a 5 or 7 dollar expense, and my 90 minutes to 2 hours. With this one, I did something that I rarely do, I fell assleep for part of the movie. Iam very interested to hear feedback from anyone who saw Garden State. Thanks.
