 "It's a really honest look at settling down. I come from a generation of kids where pretty much all their parents got divorced and I think we have a slightly skeptical take on the whole 'till-death-do-us-part thing." Braff is quick to note, however, that neither he nor the film is "anti-marriage:" "It's about having a conversation about it and not ignoring the giant pink elephant in the room." Still, if Braff concedes that this "brutally honest" film is "a lot darker" than his earlier work, he has no qualms about playing a character who spends a lot of his time, as he puts it, "lost." He genially adds, "I'm always lost no matter what age I am." True, perhaps, but it hasn't hurt his career. As Braff's Scrubs enters its 6th season and he continues to doctor his big-screen image as the ruminative, listless Peter Pan, he remains something of a cult icon. Still, Braff, a New Jersey native and alumnus of Northwestern, seems to pride himself on maintaining a rather unassuming, personable demeanor. When it comes to keeping himself free of the frills of celebrity, he is eager to express his gratitude for the authenticity of his titular New Jersey. "No one in Jersey could give a rat's ass about Hollywood," he notes with a laugh, "everyone's very real, very genuine. They say what's on their mind." It's a nice sentiment, even if it is, as Braff quickly notes, a cliché. But perhaps in Braff's case, some clichés are worth repeating. As for the one about the sweet, funny guy with a good taste in music and a good deal of uncertainty about his place in the world, well, perhaps Braff didn't invent it, but he is working on perfecting it, and judging by his ability to remain affable, straightforward, and successful, he'll have more than a few chances left to get there.
