The 16-year-old Craig Gilner tells the story. Craig tries to live as a teenager, but he is a normal teenager but he may be in a violent confrontation with the requirements of an exotic teenager, realizing he is in a suicidal state. After a while, Craig himself threw himself into a psychiatric clinic for psychological treatment immediately after it happened to return to a new beginning.

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.

The journey is aided immeasurably by the casting of Keir Gilchrist as young Craig. He has dark, sensitive eyes and a probity about him that wins you to his side.

Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden, the film's co-writing-directing team, are too principled to tip the film into the slacker reaches of sorrow.

It's Kind of a Funny Story lacks substance, but after you've spent a short time in this ward, you have to agree with Craig: These crazies aren't so bad.

The writing-directing team of Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden have created a solid mix of serious, darker scenes and flights of fancy.

...runs out of steam about half way through but with a likable cast and an interesting setup you'll want to finish what you started.

It's also a kind of two-dimensional romance, a kind of flippant look at life on a mental ward, and (...) kind of made me want to give Zach Galifianakis a hug.

It may not be One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, but it's also not Patch Adams.

For all its problems, though, the film is easy-going, frequently channels into a sweet-natured tone and is able to raise a few chuckles.

The film's central element -- its sensitive exploration of a young teen's emotional confusion -- creates strong audience empathy, however, and gives Fleck and Boden a fertile focus for their signature light-hearted humanist storytelling.

A pleasant movie, but no more.

The acting is strong, with Galifianakis doing an especially good job as the likeable Bobby.
