Garden State
Twentysomething, emotionally detached Andrew "Large" Largeman (Zach Braff) returns home to New Jersey after nine long years. Now, as he tries to re-connect with his past, a series of chance encounters with Sam (Natalie Portman) - a free-spirited girl who's everything he isn't - sets the stage for a fateful, mind-blowing take on what his future might hold. Written and directed by Braff, this acclaimed quirky coming-of-age comedy has been hailed as "the seminal film for today's generation" (USA Today). Co-starring Peter Sarsgaard, Ian Holm and Method Man.
