IT'S KIND OF A FUNNY STORY, adapted from Ned Vizzini's 2006 novel of the same name, is the new comedy-drama from acclaimed writer/directors Ryan Fleck & Anna Boden (HALF NELSON, SUGAR).
It's @5:00 A.M. on a Sunday in Brooklyn. Craig Gilner (played by Keir Gilchrist of "United States of Tara") is bicycling up to the entrance of a mental health clinic; this bright 16-year-old is stressed out from the demands of being a teenager. Before his parents (Lauren Graham [of PARENTHOOD] and Jim Gaffigan [of AWAY WE GO]) and younger sister are even awake, Craig checks himself into Argenon Hospital and is admitted by a psychiatrist. But the youth ward is temporarily closed - so he finds himself stuck in the adult ward.
One of the patients, Bobby (Zach Galifianakis of THE HANGOVER), soon becomes both Craig's mentor and protégé. Craig is also quickly drawn to another 16-year-old displaced to the adult ward, the sensitive Noelle (Emma Roberts of the upcoming SCREAM 4), who just might make him forget his longtime unrequited crush Nia (Zoë Kravitz of the upcoming X-MEN: FIRST CLASS). With a minimum five days' stay imposed on him by the adult ward's staff psychiatrist Dr. Eden Minerva (Academy Award nominee Viola Davis), Craig is sustained by friendships on both the inside and the outside as he learns more about life, love, and the pressures of growing up. Stars in It's Kind of a Funny Story movie are Keir Gilchrist as Craig, Zach Galifianakis as Bobby, Emma Roberts as Noelle, Viola Davis as Dr. Minerva, Zoë Kravitz as Nia, Thomas Mann as Aaron, Aasif Mandvi as Dr. Mahmoud, Bernard White as Muqtada, Lauren Graham as Lynn, Jim Gaffigan as George, Jeremy Davies as Smitty and Mary Birdsong as Bobby's ex-wife.
