For Zach Braff, the only career move worse than The Ex

“You gotta listen to this song. It won’t change your life as much as the last one, but it will change it a little.”

Sam offers the headphones and Andrew glares at her. “I’m no longer in love with you, Samantha,” he says. “I’ve never been so sure of anything in my entire life.”

GOLDEN STATE: A SEQUEL TO GARDEN STATE. Coming June 2010!

When we last left Andrew Largeman, he was leaving his Hollywood life behind to move back home to New Jersey to “figure things out” and be with the one he loved, Sam. Zach Braff returns to the big screen and the director’s chair, reprising his role in his 2004 breakout hit Garden State.

The story picks up five years later. Not much has changed. Large is still living, well, large in New Jersey, still hangs out with the same people, and yes, he is still with Sam.

What happens when he realizes he is going nowhere in life? What happens when he’s bored with settling? Does he still love Sam?

He answers these questions AND MORE when he decides to return to California for a three-day visit. Will he move back there? Will he find a quirky love interest?

“Wow, it’s like they took Garden State and made it exactly the opposite!” – The Intercourse Observer

“Zach Braff has large features.” – The Damascus Chronicle

“The most powerful and inspiring movie with a June 2010 release date that I’ve seen yet this year!” –  The Nameless Report

That said, I love, love, LOVE Garden State. It’s on my desert island list. But does it need a sequel? No.

Let’s think about this: Zach Braff plays a lost twenty/thirtysomething who is unhappy with his life. He’s dating a girl who’s probably way too hot for him and decides he’s trapped.

Huh. That sounds an awful lot like The Last Kiss.

Zach Braff, you’re so much better than this. Please don’t ever write this movie.
