Well I'm still hoping to see it, but it's disappearing fast from cinemas. I'm really going to have to search to find a screening now, even in greater London!

Re: It's Kind of a Funny Story
I stand by what I have said, it's a really good film but that said, it might be best to watch it at home..
Re: It's Kind of a Funny Story
I've been meaning to see this all last week but things kept conspiring against me... until yesterday.
I liked it a lot, moving but also very charming and easy film to watch despite it dealing with mental illness, and very good performances, specially Zach Galifianakis. Loved watching Under Pressure, and very surprised to hear a snippet of The Damned's "Smash It Up", which didn't seem to fit...
One thing that seemed a little overbearing were all the "good" messages in there, every 10 minutes there seemed to be some good advice dished out like having people you can talk to and opening up if you want to get better, until finally one of the teens actually spells it out "please don't kill yourself"... they could have toned that down a bit. But yeah, would happily watch this again... 7/10
Oh and I think it's only on at Wandsworth until thursday.

I find it's also still on at Crawley until Thursday, just once per day, but I'd have to p*y £7.50...

Re: It's Kind of a Funny Story
I finally watched this on Sky Go last night. I am afraid I am in the hater brigade for this one. It tried so hard to be deep but was so boring. I think that if a film has the word "funny" in the title it should try to be at least a little bit funny but this one wasn't, and I couldn't wait for it to be over. In fact I fast-forwarded most of the singing scenes.
