Craig's most important relationship is with Bobby (Zach Galifianakis, \nThe Hangover), a troubled father who transfers some parental affection to Craig; the conversations between the two of them are above and away the heart of the movie--a genuine and nuanced portrait of two people grappling with depression and neurosis. Standup comedian Galifianakis is turning into one of those character actors who give every movie they're in a boost; his performance here is honest, sensitive, and without a shred of self-pity or pandering. The rest of the movie is uneven--a romance with a self-cutting young girl (Emma Roberts,\n Nancy Drew) is pleasant but bland, and some therapy scenes are obligatorily heartening (though again, elevated by the acting, in this case Viola Davis,\n Doubt)--but the relationship between Bobby and Craig makes the whole movie well worth watching.\n --Bret Fetzer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 065935844358\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0065935844358\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Blu-ray\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47362087387395,"sku":"L1-0YXU-ANUF","price":3.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/51e6JTnZrgL.jpg?v=1634109861","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/its-kind-of-a-funny-story-blu-ray-used","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
