13. Wish I Was Here
Funded by a controversial Kickstarter campaign which came under fire early on when finances came from both fans and through more traditional sources, Wish I Was Here was co-written, directed by and stars Zach Braff. The movie marks his first back in the director’s chair since the well-received Garden State and sees the Scrubs star play a struggling actor, father and husband who has to grow up fast when he’s forced to deal with the impending death of his father (Mandy Patinkin) and home-schooling his children.
A great soundtrack and cast certainly help this one stand out, but unfortunately a lot of reviews have not been particularly kind. That likely won’t stop fans of Braff still turning out in force to give it a chance though…
