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.
