When I saw the movie title, I looked up the cast and Zach Galifianakis was in it, I thought that it was going to be another all out comedy flick. Was I in for a surprise! The movie was a total deviation from what I expected. It has Zach in a serious role.
The movie is about a 16 year old depressed teen Criag( Keir Gilchrist), who gets himself admitted at a psych clinic because he fears he might do something to himself. The attendant refuses to admit him, but does so after Craig's incessant plea for help. And so craig gets admitted for 5 days for evaluation. He meets Bobby (Zach), who he mistakes for a doctor initially, who is himself admitted there. The other main character in the movie is Noelle, who has been admitted for a history of several attempts of suicide.
The movie cruises through Criag's 5 days in the hospital. He opens up to his psychiatrist,about why he is so nervous. The movie follows the incidents and conversations that changes Craig's views and attitudes He becomes friends with Bobby. To see Zach play a semi-serious character is amazing. And of course, Craig and Noelle's budding romance also plays its part in the flow of the tale.
I liked the movie because I could relate to atleast some of it. And also, the movie is slow and breezy. And of course, its a feel good movie.
If you are in the mood for a casual, feel-good movie, then go for this.
