Zach Braff's directorial debut also shows him in a new light in front of the camera. Writing, directing and starring in a movie means that it's basically all him, and he deserves to take most of the credit for a quirky, but hearfelt, genuinely thought provoking and at times depressing film.
Braff plays twenty-something actor Andrew Largeman whose life is just a haze of prescription medication and who hasn't felt any real emotion in years. When going back to his home-town for his mother's funeral, he comes off medication and slowly - with the help of the eccentric compulsive liar Sam - begins to feel some emotion again.
The brilliance of this film is just in the slow transformation of Largeman, who at the beginning has no reaction at all the news of his mother(who he accidently paralysed)'s death but by the end is able to tell Sam that he loves her... and all this in about a week.
