"Garden State"

From Zack's Wiki

Written and directed by Zach Braff

Plot Synopsis (from amazon.com):

Andrew Largeman shuffled through life in a lithium-induced coma until his mother's death inspired a vacation from the pills to see what might happen. A moderately successful TV actor living in Los Angeles, "Large" hasn't been home to the Garden State in nine years. But even with 3,000 miles between them, he's been unable to escape his domineering father Gideon and the silencing effect he's had on his son from afar. Stunned to find himself in his hometown after such a long absence, Large finds old acquaintances around every corner living quite unique lives as gravediggers, fast food knights and the panderers of pyramid schemes. Meanwhile, at home, he does his best to avoid a long-simmering but inevitable confrontation with his father. By a twist of fate, Large meets Sam, a girl who is everything he isn't. A blast of color, hope and quirks, Sam becomes a sidekick who refuses to ride in his sidecar. Her warmth and fearlessness give Large the courage to open his heart to the joy and pain of the infinite abyss that is life.

Notes from Zackery:

This was definatly one of the best movies to come out in 2004. I decided to check it out upon a recommendation from a friend of mine and having seen Braff in "Scrubs" I figured I would check it out and ever since it has been one of my favorite movies. I just felt that I could related to the movie in a lot of ways after having been on anti-depressants and having some crazy friends. I recommend that everyone watch this movie at least once (even though no one else in my family likes this movie).
