I find Zach Braff to be a little smug, even a little egotistical. I've never watched Scrubs and I'm not particularly interested but I have to say, for a little indie movie, this is very solid.
Natalie is as cute as ever,and I only know Zack from the comedy Scrubs, so his acting and the movie itself really surprised me. I loved the short and fast surreal flashes, the calm and somewhat detached atmosphere the movie breathes is supported by the soundtrack.

Hilariously funny and surprisingly real. Zach Braff's screenplay is touching without being sappy. A refreshing and original romantic comedy.
Great direction and excellent cinematography...that's about it though. I felt that this movie lacked a beating heart and came off as slightly pretentious and self-indulgent at certain times. There are countless movies that have done this concept better.
Sweet indie movie. A vague story, nothing much really happens, but the movie gives you a pleasant feeling. Combined with the cynical humor and the awesome soundtrack, just great. "Oh and by the way, it says balls on your forehead."
Not Bad, but not great. Braff makes a decent director but a schlub of an actor. How difficult is it to mope through every scene. Thank goodness for Portman to give this movie some warmth.
