-
"It takes the comic-drama Garden State awhile to take root, but then it quickly grows on you."
-
"This comedy works so diligently at being idiosyncratic, it comes off as artificial and forced."
-
"One of the best directorial debuts in recent memory."
-
"Feels too piecemeal and ultimately inconsequential to grab the public where it counts."
-
"Braff, who also wrote and directs, tells this story with great flair, lots of subtlety and a wonderfully paced set of revelations that come to us just as they might in real life."
