for people who have already seen zach braff's directoral debut - garden state (yes yes, JD from scrubs) would find a stunning similarity between these two movies...of course garden state is much better than fireflies in the garden...or is it??

*spoilers*
in my opinion, one has got nothing to do it with the other, except for the part of each actor's mom death.
although fireflies is not a bad movie, i expected a lot more from it.
in the other hand, garden state is *beep* great (with a *beep* great soundtrack).
they can't be compared.
garden state 10/10
fireflies in the garden 6/10
cheers
Hey, they have more in common than just a dead mom - they both also have the word "garden" in the title! :-)

In Garden State he had some trouble connecting with his dad. They seemed distent, not so much abusive to the point of him resenting his father but just distent. I thought Garden State was more qarky the Fireflies in The Garden, little bit more interesting. Flireflies was more of a drama.
I like my tea on ice!
One could argue that the setup is similar, but the conflict is entirely different.

I usually love stories like these but for some reason I couldn't stand Garden State. I found it to be quite shallow, false and conceited.

It's less annoying than Garden State, but almost as poor of a film...
This is where the magic happens... and by "magic", I mean nothing.
I like Garden State better too.

Well,just another anti-Dad film.Willem Dafoe is worth the time,as is Emily Watson.
However,it just contributes to the corrosive culture and destruction of the family unit.
The filthy language is boring.
this way darker than Garden State which is a better film.
