Newcomer Keir Gilchrist and Zach Galifianakis star in the new film "It's Kind Of A Funny Story".
When a film can make us laugh and cry all in the same scene, you it's done something right. "It's Kind Of A Funny Story" is not so much of a comedy, as it is a touching story about people with depression and other illnesses.
The film revolves around Craig (Keir Gilchrist), a sixteen-year-old boy, who like many teenagers has been dealing with depression and anxiety. Until one night his depression is stronger then usual. He rides his bike to the Brooklyn Bridge, where he is ready to jump off. But he decides to preserve his life, get real help that could benefit him in the future. So he goes to a hospital, where be begs and pleads to be taken into the mental facility.
At first, Craig is reluctant to stay at the hospital, he is so unaware of the people in these facilities, that have much bigger problems then he could ever imagine having.
Eventually he adapts to it, however he has to stay there for five days in order to be cleared to go home. But on the way, he meets people that can really help him and can certainly relate to his problems.
The first character he meets is Bobby, played by Zach Galifianakis. I know what you all are thinking; there is no way that Galifianakis can play a serious role, in a film like this.
