Zach Braff‘s Wish I Was Here (Focus Features, 7.18) is (a) “a warm-hearted, family-embracing Emo version of A Serious Man,” (b) “a little too much into comforting meditations and family-embracing bromides to be comforting or illuminating,” (c) “a caring, open-hearted piece, but a little too calculating in that sense,” and (d) “pretty close to being the exact opposite of A Serious Man in a spiritual/philosophical sense.”
