Garden State (2004) starring Zach Braff, Natalie Portman. Braff's character, Andrew Largeman, is called home to New Jersey from California when his mother dies. Andrew, whose acting career is stalled, reconnects with some old friends but fails to reconnect with his father (Ian Holm). Much quirky humor with his old friends ensues. Braff, best known for the TV show "Scrubs," also wrote and directed "Garden State." Natalie Portman is utterly charming as Sam, the slightly cracked girl he accidentally meets and falls in love with. Overall, this is an offbeat movie, flawed but enjoyable to watch. Grade: B
