This movie has Zach Galifianakis and is about being in a mental ward. It was perfect for me.
The film follows Craig, a young teen hard hit with puberty and pressure to succeed. Looking for a quick fix, he gets himself admitted to a mental ward. Realizing he will be treated the same as anyone else, he gets some very unexpected, but much needed, life lessons. And ultimately an introduction to reality.
Likes - I really enjoy the realistic approach of life this movie has. And despite that, it still tends to lay the humor on, though very subtly. It was exactly what I was expecting. This was also a much welcomed change watching Zach G. Though not the star, his supporting role really helps bring life and a tender heart to the experience. This film is tender, heartfelt, and still funny, in a light chuckle kinda way. It's a great date movie.
Dislikes - Honestly there isn't anything I didn't particularity like. This movie though doesn't have a breakthrough edge to make it last the test of time.
Overall - I really enjoyed this film. So much so, I wanna buy it. Maybe because it strikes a special cord with me. Do yourself a favor and watch it once. I think it'll help you understand some people aren't as well equipped as everyone else. But it still doesn't mean they don't feel the same as you.
