Wish I Was Here

Wish I Was Here is a 2014 American comedy-drama film directed by Zach Braff and co-written with his brother Adam Braff.

Aidan Bloom (Zach Braff), a 35 year old struggling actor, father and husband, is still trying to find his identity, and with it, a purpose for his life. He winds up trying to home school his two children when his father can no longer afford to pay for private education and the only available public school is on its last legs. Through teaching them about life his way, Aidan gradually discovers some of the parts of himself he couldn't find.

Critic Reviews:

• " Wish I Was Here is heartbreakingly beautiful and touchingly funny…a kind of post-modern Generation X film. Think Reality Bites filtered through the 20/20 hindsight of The Big Chill. " – Damond Fudge

• " Overall, Wish I Was Here is beautiful, touching and sensitive without over-exaggerating its dramas. " – Katie Smith-Wong

• " This is just a simple, endearing slice-of-life dramedy. The acting is outstanding and the script is beautifully written. " – Debbie Baldwin
