It&#8217;s kind of clear Zach drives on his own youth and experiences, as the dialogues are well thought out. Laced with a deeper emotional layer, it&#8217;s acted out by a steller cast. Kudos for Natalie Portman, and supporting castmembers like Ian Holm and Peter Saarsgard. With not everything out in the open, and a few questions left unanswered, it&#8217;s not a heavy drama. The light comedy balanced it out to be just a sweet little movie. All in all, a worthy competitor in the independent movie market, but it missed the edge to make it really special.7+.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First timer (director and writer) Zach Braff (topliner of NBC&#8217;s Scrubs) makes a critical acclaimed debut, though it&#8217;s not the life altering experience that happens in the movie.
