It's Kind of a Funny Story

Recently I had the opportunity to watch, It’s Kind of a Funny Story. Which ended up being, kind of a funny story. As I was scrolling through all the movies that I could possibly watch, I stumbled upon this movie. At first it did not catch my attention, but that’s what made it interesting. Its Kind of a Funny Story is a small story making a small point.  It was very simple and drew the audience in just enough to care about and sympathize with the characters in the story. The movie starts out with Craig, a junior in high school, depressed and contemplating suicide. He then admits himself into the psychiatric ward of a hospital. After being admitted he quickly realizes that this is not where he belongs. But he must stay there for at least five days. While in the psychiatric ward Craig learns a lot about himself and about life. Also, while he is there Craig meets some very interesting people. For instance Bobby shows Craig around when he first arrives and ends up becoming one of his closest friends. Craig makes another friend in Noelle, who is a teenager as well. If one is looking for a simple drama that brings a different kind of story to the table that It’s Kind of a Funny Story is for you.
