By: Dec. 13, 2010

Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover) plays opposite young stars Keir Gilchrist (United States of Tara) and Emma Roberts (Valentine's Day) in the Focus Features film It's Kind of a Funny Story, a smart and upbeat comedy about life, love, and the pressures of growing up.  Craig (Gilchrist) is a stressed-out teenager who checks himself into a mental health clinic for a little time out.  What he finds instead is an unlikely mentor in Bobby (Galifianakis), a potential new romance with Noelle (Roberts), and the opportunity to begin anew.  Also starring Academy Award® nominee Viola Davis (Doubt), Lauren Graham(Parenthood), Jim Gaffigan (Away We Go), and Zoe Kravitz (No Reservations), It's Kind of a Funny Story has been hailed as "a perfect coming-of-age comedy" (Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times).  The film debuts on Blu-rayTM, DVD, Digital Download and On-Demand February 8, 2011 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.
