Braff is Swingle

Zach Braff’s directorial debut GARDEN STATE is remembered fondly as a nuanced film that was supposed to signal his arrival as a director to be reckoned with. Unfortunately he hasn’t directed another film since, and went back to being “that guy from Scrubs”.

Now comes news that Braff is set to write, direct and star in the comedy SWINGLES, about a bachelor who is dropped by his wingman and teams up with a quick-witted woman he can’t stand in order to meet singles. Cameron Diaz has signed on to play the quick-witted woman, and I’m going totally on a hunch here, but I feel as though they’ll end up together by movie’s end. Now that I basically ruined the film’s ending, there’s not really a point in seeing it, is there. Sorry Braffinacs.
