Movie Haiku:Jan was born in Newark & raised in her suburbs, & she absolutely loves this terrific "little movie" about finding yourself in the most unlikely place: home! Rich basically likes it too, but balks at all the “quirky” characters Braff lifts with a wink to Woody Allen & Hal Ashby.***** For more, see the “Columns” section for Jan’s WJD review.
