I really wanted to like Garden State. I tried so hard I watched it twice when I rented it. Despite the hot girl with the terrible flaw, which I'm totally a sucker for on the screen or in real life, I couldn't like it. The characters were loathesome, but in a way that couldn't be redeemed and for me, that and the lack of a real plot thread other than guy meets girl, guy finds out girl is epileptic, guy tries to reconcile with killing his mother, guy decides to leave messed up girl, guy can't. Only the part where the guy can't leave the messed up girl is in any way realistic and that's blown with the hack can't leave at the airport ending. In real life, sorry ass Zach Braff never gets to the airport and decides to pack it in for the girl with the helmet, because it's easier than facing his real demons. But he does it at home.

I know what you mean about being attracted to helmet girls, sometimes I think I need a helmet myself. Forget the plane alltogether, I'd stay with Natalie and Bilbo until they drove me insane. "...This has been developing, since 1981..."
