Wish I Were Here
This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.
An unemployed actor reassesses his life upon dealing with a loved one's terminal diagnosis. This comedy/drama is Zach Braff's second stint as actor/writer/director since his "Garden State" movie. It is not a sequel, but could have been the same character 10 years later, moved back to L.A., and married with children. Braff plays a father, husband, brother, and son who is struggling to readjust his life and to better connect with those around him. This kick starter funded project has a subtle sense of humor and an eclectic feel involving a bright pink wig, a power drill, a swear jar, home schooling, a sexual harassment incident, Comic Con cosplay, and toasted almond ice cream bars. Kate Hudson, Joey King, Josh Gad, and Mandy Patinkin round out this good cast. This film is rated "R" mainly for language and some sexual content. It seems like the trip back from the "Garden State" has taken its toll on Braff's multi-talented skills.
Alien gives it 2 ½ "outer space drink" stars out of 4.
