Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: It is sometimes maudlin, sometimes trivial and sometimes very moving, but never less than achingly sincere.
Rotten: Wish I Was Here's philosophical scope never gets much bigger than the slip of paper inside a fortune cookie.
Fresh: Wish I Was Here is a funny, touching movie that features one of Kate Hudson's best performances and a curmudgeonly good one from Mandy Patinkin.
Rotten: What's it about? Everything and nothing. Seriously: If wishes were horses, one would have walked into the movie and told us what exactly Braff thought was going on.
