"It's Kind Of A Funny Story" - Review

"If you aren't busy being born, you're busy dying."

I went into this film with medium expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's a nice little charming film that has a good balance of comedy, modern romance, & drama, with the latter probably being the strongest part (better scenes), but the laughs are there too. Zach Galifianakis was easily the best cast member in this film by playing a character whom you cared about dearly and also brought the funniness. This is my first time seeing Emma Roberts in a film and she was easily a close second. She's not only very beautiful but shows a lot of promise and potential for future projects.

The main character Craig (played by Keir Gilchrist) was kind of good, but it could have been done better by a different actor, in my opinion. But considering this was possibly his major role, he didn't do a half-bad job.

It isn't a film to desperately rush out and see, nor is it a modern classic by any means, but if you have the time and can't decide on what to view, then I recommend it.

Score: 4/5
