Review of It's Kind of a Funny Story (2010) by Carlos S — 03 Apr 2012
There are a few shining moments in this movie, but overall it suffers from all the typical symptoms of the "quirky indie movie." The characters are all a little too cute, the dialogue a little too snappy, the situations a little too eccentric.
Setting the movie in the mental illness ward of a hospital just means it feels a little uncomfortable to see these tropes applied to people who aren't just "quirky," they have genuine issues that they need medical help to get through.
However, there are a few *really* nice moments that redeem the movie and let me know that it could have been great.
