It's Kind of a Funny Story Trailer (HD)
It's Kind of a Funny Story showed a lot of potential from the trailer, but overall I thought that this movie kind of missed the point. I was not sure whether the movie was trying too hard or not trying enough, there just seemed to be something that was wrong. This movie begins with a 16-year-old boy who contemplates suicide, so he checks himself into a psych ward. I always enjoy movies that deal with real-life dilemmas—teen angst is something we all can relate to at some point or another. I love motifs in movies about how our tribulations in life are not unique and that all people have their ups and downs. It's Kind of a Funny Story expresses these ideas well but fails to do so in a dramatic and moving way. The problem with this movie was that it couldn't decide whether it was trying to be funny or serious. I believe that one of the hardest things for a movie to do is have multiple genres that are able to coincide fluidly. This movie was unable to do so repeatedly, which made it lose its appeal.
