Rating: 2.5/5 -- Galifianakis [is] able to turn on a dime; balancing his disarming humour with moments of anguished outbreaks. His is one of the best supporting performances of recent memory; equally funny and heartbreaking. If only I could say the same of the movie. Full Review

An earnest coming-of-age story toeing the saucy-sweet Juno line. Full Review

Galifianakis funnels all of his quirks...into the service of rounding out the character. It's less a selfless performance than one that's full of self; it's haphazardly but effectively Methodlike.

Rating: 2/5 -- As a self-help sitcom, it feels both glib and icky. Glicky? Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- No it's not. It's kind of a rubbish story. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- As disposable as a paper cup and, for such promising directors, a serious regression. Full Review

The wry observational drama, hinting at darker forces that never fully surface, may offer a more realistic portrayal of life in a psych ward that the usual Hollywood version. But the film plays it too safe... Full Review

Product Description:

Adapted from Ned Vizzini's 2006 novel, IT'S KIND OF A FUNNY STORY tells the story of burnt-out teenager Craig (Keir Gilchrist), who checks himself into a mental health clinic citing exhaustion, and finds himself placed in the adult ward due to the fact that the youth ward has been shut down. Taken under the wing of fellow patient Bobby (Zach Galifianakis), the stressed-out 16-year-old attempts to endure his mandatory five days' stay without completely losing his mind. His predicament is made somewhat more tolerable by the presence of Noelle (Emma Roberts), another teenage patient who's struggling to sort out her thoughts. Academy Award nominee Viola Davis, Lauren Graham, and Jim Gaffigan co-star.
