It's Kind Of A Funny Story


This film stars Keir Gilchrist as Craig, a 16-year-old who admits himself into the hospital after contemplating suicide for the umpteenth time. They send him to the psychiatric ward. There, he meets Bobby (Zach Galifianakis) who is also a patient. Throughout the film, Craig is on a journey to find out what is really wrong with him, what he wants out of life, and how to deal with his severe self-awareness issues.

This film is really entertaining. It's hilarious at times, and dramatic at times--never taking itself too seriously. It is really well written and acted. The film is original and quirky in all the right places. There are also some great messages about life and thoughts that trouble and stress out most of our society. When you watch this film, really listen to what it's trying to say to you.

Overall Grade: A
