No screen actor on the current scene embodies indecisiveness quite like Zach Braff, the star of this smart and sassy cautionary tale for the Generation Y crowd. Approaching his 30th birthday, his character, Michael, becomes inexplicably apprehensive about his engagement to sober-sided longtime girlfriend Jenna (Jacinda Barrett.) Perhaps because he fears winding up like his married friends -- whom he perceives as henpecked -- Michael begins an affair with a free-spirited student (Rachel Bilson), fully aware that he’s playing with fire. The resulting complications, if comfortingly predictable, are given bite through the fine ensemble acting and clever writing by two-time Academy Award winner Paul Haggis. The DVD sports two very lively and playful commentaries: one with Braff and director Tony Goldwyn, and a second in which they are joined by several other cast members. Irreverent, insouciant, and definitely R-rated, these raucous gabfests may be more fun than the movie they accompany. The tone is set right away during the opening credits, when Goldwyn muses aloud, “Hey, there’s my credit,” and Braff snaps, “Oh, who cares?” Ed Hulse, Barnes & Noble
