It´s Kind of a Funny Story (2010) 14

United States of America | 2010 | 97 min.

An uplifting story about finding sanity in the most unlikely of places. Sometimes what’s in your head isn’t as crazy as you think. That’s certainly true for Craig, a stressed-out teenager who checks himself into a mental health clinic for some time out. What he finds instead is an unlikely mentor, a potential new romance, and an opportunity to begin anew. Charming, witty and smart, it’s a coming-of-age story that’s kind of a funny story.
