Garden State: good movie?

<p>Since i’m posted so often on this board… this feels more like a community the CC Cafe… :)</p>

<p>anyway, how many of you thought Garden State is a good movie? I’m sure existentialists will love it… however, right after reading 2 existentialists novels and 3 short stories… i somehow didn’t like the movie as much as some of my friends did to their disappointment… :(</p>

<p>Did you read L’Etranger and the Metamorphosis? or maybe l’Hote? I haven’t seen it yet.</p>

<p>garden state is a great movie</p>

<p>Is it about New Jersey…if so, then no.
:p</p>

<p>Speaking of movies, I’m going to see Harold and Kumar go to white castle for the first time today! Don’t they go to Princeton? ;)</p>

<p>infkt, mind elaborate on why you thought so?</p>

<p>both of those movies are good.</p>

<p>Harold and Kumar is such a good movie! Hilarious to say the least!</p>

<p>Garden State was pretty good IMO. Kind of overrated. Then again, I’m not too fond of those artsy-ish movies (those are too sophisticated for me :P).</p>

<p>Oh, wow for a second, I thought you were saying that Harold and Kumar was too artsy for you! Good movie, though.</p>

<p>I thought Harold and Kumar would suck, but its suprisingly good.</p>

<p>Garden State was a good movie. Not the best, but pretty good.</p>

<p>i hated garden state</p>

<p>garden state is actually based on the high school life of a french teacher at my school and her friends =P</p>

<p>shrek2004, you mean “bsaed on” as in the movie was made so that it could reflect the life of a french teacher at your school and her friends or it’s just by conincidence that their lives are similar to the one described in the movie?</p>

<p>if it were the former, then i’d love to meet your french teacher.</p>

<p>no she was best friends with zach braff in high school and lots of the things they did in that movie reflected what they did in high school, it wasnt actually “based on” their lives just they used a lot of what their group did during high school</p>

<p>that’s cool.</p>

<p>shrek2004!!!
that’s crazy!! i want to meet you french teacher now :smiley: what school are you from?</p>

<p>haha i dont live there haha she moved out here with her boyfriend a few years ago =P</p>

<p>oh. that’s still really cool… darn. she must have connections then ;)</p>

<p>garden state was pretty good. the soundtrack is awesome too.</p>

<p>lol i’m actually listening to “Let Go” as I type…I listen to that song endlessly</p>

<p>ah! that’s my favorite song. ssooo good</p>
