"I WIsh I Was Here"

To be taken in so completely by a film that over an hour passes, and all you want is more of the story. All that you want is for the magic to continue. All that you want is just one more moment with these important characters. This is just such a film.

The brain child of Zach Braff and his brother, Adam, this story is a beautiful poem to life, and to death, and to dreams, and to purpose. Interwoven amidst it all is a delicate balance of humor. 

This movie was a KICK STARTER project. It not only had the backing of generous donors, it had the addition of generous star power. Kate Hudson plays Zach Braff's wife, Mandy Patinkin plays his father, who is dying of cancer, Josh Gad is Braff's younger brother, and I swear that guy can make me cry faster than almost any actor I know. Rounding out the wonderful cast are the children who play Braff's children, Joey King as Grace, and Pierce Gagnon as Tucker. 

The richest cameo in the bunch is Jim Parson's. I smile just looking at that man. 

Give yourself a delightful present, and wrap this one up with a cup of tea for the night. 

Also, Kassandra Berger, it makes a great case for home-schooling.
