To "Funny Story"'s credit, there is Jim Gaffigan, who can be a shining light in a bad film (he was in "Away We Go").<br /><br />Also, Aasif Mandvi *always* plays a doctor. I mean, the guy was one on "Jericho," "ER," "CSI," "Oz," and in "Ghost Town" and "Analyze This."Nick Duvalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00089865009208643645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-51253900803183501082010-07-17T16:50:31.070-04:002010-07-17T16:50:31.070-04:00Wow, I had no idea what to expect but after I watc...Wow, I had no idea what to expect but after I watched the trailer, I am a yes.

But Half Nelson was great and KG is an appealing talent, so I'll give it a try.<br /><br />Btw, it was funny to see Zach G in seemingly 3/4s of the trailers in front of Inception. Though not as funny as the trailer for Piranha 3-D. The audience was rolling with laughter at that - and in a way that would probably unsettle its studio.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607567799469685872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-72984530598021487372010-07-17T09:41:33.681-04:002010-07-17T09:41:33.681-04:00Galifanakis is the only thing giving me pause abou...Galifanakis is the only thing giving me pause about this. He really creeps me out a lot of the time. His whole schtick is having a screw loose, and I flip-flop between him being an absolute genius and a genuinely crazy person with a lot of luck and that worries me. I'll give him this: he's a fine pianist.<br /><br />However, watching the trailer, I think this looks like a sensitive and funny film about a young person with depression and I can get behind that. I'm seeing a few spots where the characters are being made fun of, but I'm also sensing that's not the point of the film.OtherRoberthttp://tothesublime.tknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-17205421584804191622010-07-17T09:33:18.310-04:002010-07-17T09:33:18.310-04:00Zach Galkjxkjhfailkis is in everything lately.
