Review of Wish I Was Here (2014) by Irene S — 10 Dec 2014

Been a long time since "Garden State", but Zach Braff can still make a decent movie. This isn't nearly as good or impactful as "State", but still tells a good story with enough laughs to stay entertaining.

Braff plays a struggling actor who has to rely on his wife(Kate Hudson) to support the family(they have 2 kids). His father then falls ill with cancer and can no longer afford to pay the bill for this kids private school.

So Braff does what any other jobless parent would do, he home schools his kids. Hijinks ensue, and overall it's about being in your 30's and dealing with what you want out of your life. As opposed to what your life really is.

Heavy stuff, I know. Good movie that makes me hope Braff doesn't take another 10 years to make a movie(he directed this). If he has to do kickstarter again like this, then so be it. Hell, I'd cough up some money, because he has some real talent.

Not just that dumb guy from scrubs:-p.
