Movies like this one?


Title pretty much says it. Any suggestions for movies like this one? I loved it, watched it for a second time a day after watching it the first time.

I would like to know too. The movie has a perfect blend if drama and comedy and never over does it.

This movie does remind me of other movies like:
- Girl, Interrupted
- Diary of a Wimpy Kid
- Patch Adams

and a book like:
- Veronika Decides to Die

Their similarities range from plot to premise, but then again it depends on your own interpretation :)

Diary of a Wimpy Kid? How exactly?

Well, I guess the parts that are in his head that sort of break from reality maybe..but..that's about it.


It's Kind of a Funny Story - 9/10
Good Hair - 6/10

Was looking for something along the high school range. Those look good though, will definitely check them out

You need to see "Cashback" - it is more centered on the love story, but the two are very similar both plot-wise and general feeling - wise. One was inspired by the other definitely but didn't bother to research it. Nevertheless both are very good movies.

Try On the Edge! I haven't actually watched It's Kind of a Funny Story yet, but after watching they trailer they seem pretty similar. On the Edge is about a guy who chooses to go to a mental hospital instead of prison after stealing and wrecking a car. It's a really good movie with a sweet soundtrack :) The characters are probably in their early 20s and Cillian Murphy is perfect for the role. The only thing that bothered me about the movie was that his accent can be hard to understand sometimes. But other than that it's one of my favorite movies.

Is it possible to have just one favourite movie?

K-PAX with Kevin Spacey is a must watch! Though storyline goes off on a different tangent.

Hi there! I would recommend GARDEN STATE - similar feel and also a great soundtrack!

How about Igby Goes Down? Similar in comedic/dramatic tone and "don't make me grow up like you" subject matter.
