We have a terrible habit of inadvertently watching very depressing movies when we have some time to ourselves. One night when grandma was babysitting for us, we settled in to watch Capturing the Friedmans, a documentary about a child molester whose son is also convicted of child molestation. Not kidding. Anway, we are big fans of Zach Braff (imdb, Wikipedia). He’s hilarious in Scrubs (which we watch a season at a time thanks to NetFlix) and we loved Garden State. But don’t let the fact that Zach Braff is in the movie or the cover art for the DVD fool you…this is one downer of a movie.
Now, I’m not saying I didn’t like this movie. Some friends of ours kind of half-heartedly recommended it and they were right in their opinion that it was not a great movie. It was basically about the fairly common theme of disintigrating relationships; however, I think that movies like this can be judged by whether they make you at least a little bit uncomfortable and this movie definitely does that. The performances were generally good and they avoided a sappy ending (thankfully, they resisted that urge) opting instead to leave you guessing a little bit. I like it when I end up thinking about a movie after I watch it and this movie definitely makes you think…at least a little bit.
