Funny Story

About This Movie

Funny Story is this intriguing blend of comedy and drama that really captures the complexities of relationships, especially the kind that comes with age. Walter Campbell, played with a kind of weary charm, is grappling with his past decisions, and the performances really give you a sense of that internal struggle. The pacing feels almost reflective, much like the landscapes of Big Sur where a lot of the film unfolds. It’s not just about his attempts to navigate fatherhood and his own selfishness; it’s about the genuine interactions that feel unforced. There’s an authenticity to the dialogue that resonates, and it’s a nice change from typical rom-com fare. Love how it balances humor with those heavier themes, making for a thoughtful experience.

Engaging performances that draw you in. · Thoughtful exploration of father-daughter dynamics. · A refreshing take on age and relationships.
