Garden State – DVD Review
At the start of this motion picture the protagonist, Andrew Largeman, is in a semi-catatonic state. Reminiscent of Ferris Bueller’s best friend Cameron, Andrew is laying in his cocoon of a bed staring at the ceiling. Unresponsive, the answering machine in his room picks up and records a message from his father. His father informs Andrew that his mother has drowned in the bathtub. Andrew makes an effort to get up and stares at himself in his bathroom mirror. When he opens the medicine cabinet, rows and rows of medication are revealed. Talk about totally overmedicated.
So begins Garden State, a film written and directed by Zach Braff, who stars as Andrew. Most famous for his character J.D. on the TV show Scrubs, Braff creates an idiosyncratic coming-of-age comedy that was one of the sleeper hits of 2004.
