Zach Braff just won me over again!

Well acted, if uncomfortable and long to watch. Isabelle Blais was good, too! She puts me in mind of a cross between Isablla Rossellini and Maggie Gyllenhaal. Looks, anyway. And although I have great respect for both Actresses I compared her too, I have never been exceptionally partial to either as favorites. Maybe this Isabella can pull it off without her ta-ta's hangin' out?!
Like it or leave it, one more person's opinion(s).

I might as well enjoy my life and watch the stars play!

I honestly feel that he didn't act enough. I needed more emotion out of him, more despair for what he did. It was a MAJOR thing, it seemed lazily done tbh. I need some sort of teary moment out of him. I love Zack as an actor, but to me, he fell short with this one.

Don't get me wrong, it was a great flick, but just a TAD bit more emotion and bam! better movie imo.

Thanks for your reply, even though we don't quite agree. :)
I just feel like if he were 1/3 as sensitive as he is in his films (and I feel he is, from watching him while the commenting is on) that he would be one of the sweetest men, like....ever! :)
Just my opinion.
I also thought the girl did a great job. But, I found a lot of places in the film should have been left on the editing room floor. Just the dull and boring parts that included her husband, for the most part...
