cert 15, 112 minutes. £ 5.00 director: Zach Braff with Zach Braff, Natalie Portman, Ian Holm Peter Sarsgaard. |
The directorial debut from Zach Braff (Scrubs) is not your typical romantic comedy. It’s offbeat, darker elements make it fresh and unique. Andrew is a moderately successful actor in Los Angeles when, after nine years away, he returns to his New Jersey hometown for his mother's funeral. The trip forces him to confront his austere psychiatrist father and old school friends. Andrew meets and falls for, Sam, a bubbly screwball epileptic and feels enlightened. With a wonderful cast, it’s a witty, wacky yet poignant trip through the minefield of being twenty-something. |
