A really enjoyable, warm, and funny film.
A kind of love story, told with a gentle underplayed humour. Its
wayward story is full of matter-of-fact weirdness; characters who
are a touch peculiar but still lovable. Braff keeps the pace
leisurely and delights with the nicely composed visual humour.
The music is good, too - I shall definitely be looking out for the
soundtrack. Some good musical jokes as well: 'Three Times a Lady'
has finally found something useful to do in life - or rather death.
The film deals with those age old themes - learning to love; finding
out and accepting who you really are - but they are touchingly
realised, never glib or cheap, with characters who you genuinely
want to find out about.
Braff and Natalie Portman are excellent in the lead roles.
Highly recommended.
