Wish I Was Here
I liken this movie to a sketch or rough draft: it's not completely fleshed out, but it has some interesting ideas. There was an abundance of Scrubsy zaniness--Rabbi watching YouTube, kids duct tapped to chairs, supermarket fistfight, cosplay, Turk. It didn't always contribute to the flow of the story, so at times I wanted Zach Braff to tilt his head and look up...imagining these odd tangents. You have to paint the broad strokes yourself: failed actor home-schools kids, reconnects with family, makes peace with dying father. That's where I would start, but what the fork do I know?
