I watched Garden State last night. I heard a lot of lackluster reviews, so I wasn't expecting much, and maybe that's why I was pleasantly surprised. It did have a pretty cheesy ending, and it certainly is nega-uplifting. But I liked it. I liked most of it (yeah, the ending is really cheesy). It was stylistically appealing, and of course, the music's hot, and it was full of unexpected moments and twists. I thought it was kind of awesome. Mostly, until the really cheesy end.

Of course, it didn't do much for my already morose mood. But I thought it was definitely worth seeing, and many people told me it wasn't really. And that's a bonus.

Reaffirmed: I don't like Natalie Portman so much.
