This is a FANTASTIC movie about a depressed "suicidal" teen, Craig that ends up getting help at a hospital, meets a girl and makes a new friend in the shape of Zach Galifianakis. While at the hospital Craig discovers his love for art and he learns that life isn't easy and that it isn't supposed to be. The film ends with Craig saying that while his stay didn't cure his condition, it helped him a lot, and he can get through the rest of his life with the help of his family and friends. One of those films you walk away from feeling better and really funny too, It's also quite sad obviously due to the issues that the patients have - depression, self mutilation and isolation. This film isn't perfect, but name me one that is! It runs flat at points but Galifianakis soon changes that with witty remarks and a performance that will make you want to hug the lovable actor, overall a nice teen film with a real heart and funny story.
