Your appreciation for this film will depend in large part on where this all falls on your personal continuum from 'funny' to 'funny-ish,' to 'eww.'

Funny Story" is only mildly humorous, but it's watchable thanks to Glave's game performance that makes him likable despite his foibles.

A warmhearted seriocomedy that, even when not thoroughly convincing, projects a disarming sincerity.

Matthew Glave’s perfect comedic timing paired with the vulnerable, yet disorderly appeal of Emily Bett Rickards’ performance is an odd pair that simply works perfectly.

The most impressive aspect of Funny Story is that it succeeds in every area. Quality and efficiency seep out of every pore of this indie treat.

Funny Story is well worth your time. It's a captivating look at families and how the truth hurts but not nearly as bad as the alternative.
