I think Garden State got such "high praise" because Braff was arguably at peak success of Scrubs and making his directorial debut. It could've been a movie about a turd sandwich and likely would've been praised.
That for sure, and you had Peter Sarsgaard, and an indie soundtrack where everyone acted like they were a fan of The Shins (come on we all pretended we liked them haha)
