What they share

Both films are directed by Zach Braff, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Going in Style, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Wish I Was Here is

Another entry in the indie-dad-has-a-crisis genre, this time with aerospace daydreams as the escape hatch. A cash-strapped actor takes over his kids’ education when private school becomes unaffordable and the local public option looks questionable. The real discovery isn’t in the curriculum—it’s how often he checks his reflection in the microwave.
