It's Kind of A Funny Story, a review

It's Kind of a Funny Story can seem abit mis leading because of the title and the actors in this movie but a person would not be disappointed when they leave the threater. Mr. LaSalle said "The presence of Zach Galifianakis in the cast might lead people to assume that the movie is funnier than it is. But "It's Kind of a Funny Story" is more of a drama with some laughs than a comedy with funny parts, and Galifianakis' role, as a husband and father who has fought suicidal depression his whole life, is a sober one. Bobby (Galifianakis) takes the newbie under his wing and, in a droll but straight-faced way, shows him around." (LaSalle, M). I agree. When I was looking for a book into film movie and found out the Zach Galifianakis was in thos movie, I was sold. I loved the movies I had alreay seen him in, The Hsngover and Due Date, so I thought to myself this has to be hilarious. It wasn't what I was expecting when I picked up the novel and began reading, but I wasn't disappointed by it either. "And then gradually, what seems awful becomes human, what seems foreign becomes familiar, and about halfway into this sincere and surprisingly lovable movie, a vacation feeling sets in. He doesn't want to leave, and neither do we." (LaSalle, M). The movie has a kind of quality that people can relate to without the person relating to it ending up feeling like they need to check themselves into the hospital too. Mr. LaSalle said they movie "has a feeling of randomness about it" but the shows how well the directors, Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, did on making a movie that mimicks the brain of a 15 year-old. The train of thought is going to be all over the place and I agree with Mr. LaSalle when he says they were able to capture that without taking my mind a million different directions.
