Written, directed and starring Zach Braff, Garden State was released in 2004.

A memorable scene in the film involving Braff’s character and Portman’s character occurs when she prompts him to listen to “New Slang” by The Shins, while delivering the memorable dialog, “You gotta hear this one song, it’ll change your life, I swear.”
