It's Kind of a Funny Story Reviews
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
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.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
The acting is strong, with Galifianakis doing an especially good job as the likeable Bobby.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Weird. And disappointing.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
This is a strange failing for the tag team who has handled the wounded so well in previous outings.
Miami Herald
Connie Ogle
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.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
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.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
The writing-directing team of Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden have created a solid mix of serious, darker scenes and flights of fancy.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
So many elements, from its setup to scenes of therapy sessions and hallway high jinks, seem as canned as the blandest dayroom Muzak.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Disarmingly gentle, sweet and whimsical.
IFC.com
Matt Singer
I'm pretty sure if I'd seen this movie when I was 17, I would have loved it.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
It's Kind of a Funny Story manages to affirm the good things in life without ever whitewashing the bad.
Philadelphia City Paper
Sam Adams
Respected indie filmmakers with a niche in social-realist drama try their hand at winsome comedy, fall flat on their critically acclaimed faces.
TIME Magazine
Mary F. Pols
Despite the pleasant, loopy energy and fine performances -- Galiflanakis conjures a surprisingly sad character, and I grew fond of Gilchrist, with his impenetrable black eyes and rosebud mouth -- you walk out of it shaking your head.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Co-directors Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden, who directed the gritty indie dramas Half Nelson and Sugar, go all gooey and sentimental here.
Film.com
Eric D. Snider
A funny and warm film that addresses its serious issues with sensitivity but refuses to become bogged down in somberness.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
The film itself is fairly slight: I'm not sure what it adds up to. Still, I enjoyed every moment...
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
The movie is another winner for the duo, and although portions of it reek a bit too much of overly familiar cliché thanks to a solid second half it ends up being a picture I can recommend without too many reservations.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Mental illness is not inherently funny. But people acting crazy can be.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
Witty and imaginative fantasy sequences that make the unabashed decency and kindness at its heart even more touching.
