"I'm not the kind of person who is unable to differentiate betweeen an actor and a role. I have singled out Zach Braff because chances are, most of the audience for this movie is going expecting some further installation of Garden State."

The movie adapation from the Italian was written by Paul Haggis, the same writer who gave us Crash, another problematic film. As I said, I singled out Braff because a lot of folks are going to see it expecting that Braff played more of a role in it than just being an actor, and he did compile the fabulous soundtrack.

I didn't see the Italian original. Perhaps in the original version, the women were more fleshed-out, more able to be differentiated from one another. In this film, the women are all nags, men just want to have fun, and women spoil the buzz by domesticating them. And not just domesticating them, but doing it in such a way as to take their manhood. The older male character is so devoid of passion and spark that he's a walking zombie.

I agree that singling out Braff is to hold him accountable for the entire film, but I think he's the face of the movie.
