It’s Kind of a Funny Story is an upcoming Comedy Drama film. The movie is set to be released in September 2010 in the United States. It’s Kind of a Funny Story is directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. It tells the story of a clinically depressed teenager who gets a new start after he checks himself into an adult psychiatric ward. Zach Galifianakis (who starred in The Hangover in 2009), Emma Roberts, Lauren Graham (of Gilmore Girls fame), Keir Gilchrist, Jim Gaffigan, Cheryl Alessio and others have been listed as actors and actresses starring in the movie. It’s Kind of a Funny Story is based on the 2006 novel of the same name by Ned Vizzini. Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck also wrote the screenplay for the film. If you ask me, this is probably a modern and less-grim version of the 1975 movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (which featured Jack Nicholson in the leading role). Although, I must admit that I have not read the novel and have no idea if this movie will make you laugh or cry. Judging by the trailer for this film it does seem that it has potential and is worthy of checking out.
