It's Kind of a Funny Story (1:41) 2010
Craig lives in New York and attends a public high school for bright, high achieving students. One night, Craig feeling depressed and overwhelmed checks himself into the psychiatric ward. When Craig learns that he will be assigned to the adult ward, he wants to go home. He finds out he can't be released for five days. He forms a relationship with Bobby, a patient who knows the ins and outs of getting whatever he needs. Craig is also taken with a teenage patient, Noelle. Noelle helps Craig forget about his crush on his high school friend Zia. Craig finds people who support him during his five day stay as he begins his journey of self discovery and awareness. This movie turned out to be a sensitive look at the trials and tribulations of being a teenager as well as a sensitive look at people with mental health issues. The icing on this cake was a fantasy scene of Craig and the patients singing " Under Pressure." This is definitely worth a look - rent it!
