Gave you hope your not alone? Are you dumb? It's a movie so yeah, you probably are alone. The movie is absolutely amazing... t the book is even better. I read the book about 3 years ago and still thought about it until it became a movie. The movie of course doesnt go as deep as the book but none of the movies based off books ever do. I give it 2 thumbs way up. Full Review

It's Kind of a Funny Story is kind of a perfect coming-of-age comedy, with its bittersweet fun set loose in the adult psych ward of a Brooklyn hospital where this clever case of teenage depression, identity and self-esteem is examined.Full Review

Notable for the easy chemistry of its ensemble cast.Full Review

Ambles along and has a feeling of randomness about it, but, in fact, it's tightly plotted. Every moment, however seemingly haphazard and casually presented, is keyed to the progress of a young man from lost to not so lost.Full Review

I don't blame you for backing off a movie that focuses on a suicidal teen who learns warm life lessons by spending five days in a Brooklyn hospital's psych ward. Stop worrying. It's Kind of a Funny Story, based on Ned Vizzini's semiautobiographical novel, breaks the jinx.Full Review

It's Kind of a Funny Story may be the first psych-ward drama to draw on John Hughes movies for tonal reference.Full Review
