IT 'S KIND OF A FUNNY STORY (2010)
"Charming, witty and smart, it's a coming-of-age story that's kind of a funny story..." this is how this movie is being described on the back of the DVD cover. I could not have epitomized it better.
Graig (Keir Gilchrist) is a typical teenager experiencing all the typical hang-ups and anxieties that go with it. When it all becomes too much for him too handle (he imagines killing himself), he checks himself into a mental hospital. There he meets an array of people that show him his life is not quite as bad as he thought it to be. But it is the crazy enigmatic Bobby (Zach Galifianakis of The Hangover fame) that has the greatest and most lasting effect on him. And then there is also the potential love interest in the form of Noelle (Emma Roberts), another teen patient that goes through much the same thing he is.
Despite the depressing background it is taking place in, this is a feel-good movie with some very funny moments and an excellent cast. But it is Zach Galifianakis that really steals the show. Again, is is highly recommended viewing, especially for the younger generation that has to contend with growing up in today's screwed-up society. I rate it 3 out of 5 stars.
