Fans of Garden State may be pleased to know that Zach Braff will once again take to the director's chair for the comedy Swingles, which already has Cameron Diaz in a lead role. Braff will also star alongside Diaz, as "a bachelor who is dumped by his wingman and teams up with a sharp-tongued woman he can't stand in order to meet singles."
I have often found that people either love or hate Garden State, and though I probably couldn't watch it a million times, I definitely loved the movie when I first saw it. I liked Braff's style, and I especially appreciated his use of music (that soundtrack is certainly popular). In fact, I'd love to trade playlists with Zach Braff.
Do you think Braff should stick to acting, or are you curious to see what he'll do as a director with a new comedy? Is Cameron Diaz a good matchup for him?

Loved Garden State. Love Zach Braff. HATE Cameron Diaz. I'm very torn about this project.
1Sounds a lot like Katherine Heigl's next movie with Gerard Butler!
2you know, i could be into this movie. i saw Garden state after all the hype died down and enjoyed it so i hope that this one is kind of the same...
3I just really don't like Diaz. I love him and Garden State though, so I'm in the middle.
4I have to agree with those that aren't Diaz fans, but I love Zach and Garden State so we'll see.
5As a person who HAS watched Garden State a million times, I think this has potential as a drama... though I'm curious to see how he does with a comedy...
6Gee, I wonder who he will end up falling in love with?
7The plot sounds unremarkable to say the least. Yet, I have faith in Zach after Garden State, which was often categorized as a comedy too by the way. So don't be too quick to assume it will turn out to be another cliche screwball romance. I really like Cameron Diaz, I just hate that she always stars in promising films that come out bad, like Gangs of New York or Vanilla Sky.
8blah. I hated Garden State. I hated The Last Kiss. I hate this one and I haven't even seen it. blah
