18. "Garden State is definitely overrated, but it's not a bad movie"
In response to In response to 13


  

          

I like it just fine for what it is -- a cheesy, goofy romance from the male perspective.

So the hype machine over-hyped somebody? I'm not too worried about that.

And when it's all said and done, it IS impressive that Zach wrote, starred, and directed that picture, even if it is blatantly just one big autobiographical emo whine set to a nice soundtrack. Putting all that together deserves *some* credit, and if the kids like the movie more than it deserves -- meh -- not hate-worthy in my book. Kids overrate shit all the time (see: Darko, Donnie) but that doesn't make them bad (see: Darko, Donnie).

___________

HOPE!
