There’s no big story nor a big cast. Infact you hardly know anyone. But still the movie managed to awe you with its little details and originality.

There’s a guy who has been living in pills almost all his life, been a quasi Hollywood success and seems to get lost in his own world until he returned back to his home (Garden State) and things seem to fall in places. He finds all his boyhood friends messed up completely with their lives – different from what they have dreamed about themselves. He meets a gal who is everything he isn’t and that changes his world. Cliche but this is done is an impressive way.

My best moment? – When the guy takes her out for the first time to his weird friend’s house who pulls that fire arrow in the air. They run for survival until that arrow touches the ground. And immediately after that, the gal pulls her ear (a signal they agreed upon to – Get the hell out of here). Awesome.
