I saw the trailer for Garden State when I saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and instantly wanted to see it. When it came to theatres, I had to choose between Hero and Garden State, and I chose Hero. I rented Garden State THE day it came out on DVD and watched it. I was blown away, to be honest. I found myself watching it three more times before returning it. Words can not describe how much I love this movie. Garden State got a lot of mixed reviews from critics and the people. It's a movie of preferred taste. It doesn't make you an unintelligent buffoon if you didn't like Garden State, it's just not your cup of tea. I found this movie to be inspiring and flawless. Zach Braff is a very talented writer/director/actor. Natalie Portman and Peter Saarsgard never let me down. 10/10!

I was VERY hesitant on renting this movie. I am a big skateboard fan, but movies about it usually suck, but I said what the hell and rented it. I found the first 5 minutes to be very "sudo", trying way too hard to have sophisticated, intellectual dialogue. And the whole scene with the teacher talking about life with the pyramid of V's on the chalkboard made sense, but it was pretty stupid. But, the plot was pretty good and the acting was decent. Levelland also had a pretty good soundtrack featuring Black Flag and I thought I heard some Bad Religion, but I could be wrong. So, if you like punk rock, cool skate scenes, and can handle some annoying dialogue and mediocre actors, then I suggest watching Levelland. I'd probably watch it again.
