It's Kind of a Funny Story Ratings & Reviews
Jamie Talbot
July 28, 2025
A fairly average film. Not amazing by any means but not awful either. The storytelling is a bit wonky but the characters in the film are very fun. A nice, sweet, easy to watch movie.
IFC.com
Matt Singer
I'm pretty sure if I'd seen this movie when I was 17, I would have loved it.
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.
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.
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.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
This is a strange failing for the tag team who has handled the wounded so well in previous outings.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Weird. And disappointing.
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.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Disarmingly gentle, sweet and whimsical.
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.
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 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.
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.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
Witty and imaginative fantasy sequences that make the unabashed decency and kindness at its heart even more touching.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Mental illness is not inherently funny. But people acting crazy can be.
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...
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
Above all, Fleck and Boden break the fourth wall brilliantly and frequently, and that inventiveness is one of the film's great charms.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Galifianakis is a comic force of nature, but he digs down here and delivers a beautifully nuanced performance that gets under your skin. Just like the movie.
