It's Kind of a Funny Story
Zach Galifianakis, Keir Gilchrist, Lauren Graham and Emma Roberts star in this uplifting comedy about finding sanity in the most unlikely of places. Sometimes what's in your head isn't as crazy as you think... that's certainly true for Craig (Gilchrist), a stressed-out teenager who checks himself into a mental health clinic for some time out. What he finds instead is an unlikely mentor (Galifianakis), a potential new romance (Roberts) and an opportunity to begin anew. Charming, witty and smart, it's a coming-of-age story that's kind of a funny story...

Charming - MsBean
A charming little story, sort of a lighthearted, younger person's version of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The main characters were compelling and sympathetic, even Zach Galfinakis (sp?) who expanded - ever so slightly - beyond his usual crazy goofball type.Not a Funny Story - CynCanada
I thought the premise of this movie had the potential to be funny or at least thought-provoking. Unfortunately - I did not feel the movie pulled off either. We watched about half and then turned it off and returned it to Zip. It just could not hold our attention. I have wondered if it got better - but after reading another reviewer, I suppose it is just as well that we stopped when we did.It's Kind of a Funny Story - Jude
Though billed as a comedy, this did not have many laughs. It had a few vaguely humorous moments. In fact, it was a big disappointment. The acting was fine, but the storyline just never took off. The potential was there to be a thought provoking and entertaining movie, but it just never happened. Don't bother wasting a rental.
