"If you can't laugh at yourself, life's gonna seema whole lot longer than you'd like."
Sam from Garden State, played by Natalie Portman

Gem of a film, it sparkles with orignality and humour, makes you smile and tear at the same time. I would call it the best film of the year, 'cept for the fact that it premiered in last year in the US.

Brief sypnosis:
Zach Braff from Scrubs, plays an actor who returns to his hometown for his mother's funeral, having been away for 9 long years. He is numbed to life, and lives in a drug induced coma. There, he meets Sam, a dash of color and life, yet so real with her insercurities and secrets.

A film which pulls off quirky, funny and bittersweet effortlessly. Eleven Fingers Up! =)
