What to Know

Critics Consensus

It won't be for all tastes, but Funny Pages deserves credit for telling a coming-of-age story that leans heavier on cringe comedy than nostalgia.

Jordan Hoffman AV Club Funny Pages understands that being truly committed to comics, the lowest form in all the arts (except for performance poetry, of course), is an express ticket to a life of social misery and alienation. Oct 19, 2022 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times What an auspicious debut for Kline and what a fine showcase for all other parties. Rated: 4/5 Sep 23, 2022 Full Review Linda Marric The Jewish Chronicle Zolghadri carries the film with the kind of self assured nonchalance rarely seen on screen. His character’s wide-eyed optimism, although clearly misguided, is both infectious and genuinely awe-inspiring. Rated: 5/5 Sep 20, 2022 Full Review Anya Couture Geek Vibes Nation Funny Pages is a great exercise in discovering your own style & rhythm that runs with a fun sense of chaos and bite, and now that Owen Kline’s cat is out of the bag everyone is going to want to see what happens in the next issue. Rated: 7.5/10 Jul 26, 2025 Full Review William Stottor Flick Feast Owen Kline’s directorial debut is grimy, weird, and most importantly subversive. Rated: 4/5 Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Hector A. Gonzalez Loud and Clear Reviews The grittiness of Sean Price Williams’ cinematography and atmosphere carries Owen Kline’s Funny Pages, but the rest falters – a coming-of-age feature lacking focus, coherence, and laughter. Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 4, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

brad s Original movie, Great characters, great scenes, worth watching. Don't go by the reviews Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/12/22 Full Review geribarth Very original, very different. Goes into directions one never expects. It’s not an easy, pleasant movie but that’s part of what makes it great: its courage to be real and honest Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/04/22 Full Review Stephen C Funny in 1 hour and 26 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $49,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/29/25 Full Review Audience Member I wanted to call BS on nepotism and being the son of Kevin Kline and Phoebe Cates, but, alas, Owen Kline -- GODDAMN, I SAY GODDAMN! Impressive directorial debut from someone born with at least 2 silver spoons in his beautiful mouth. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Sean K Last night I checked this out, knowing nothing about it beyond that the poster stood out. I was just expecting an average comedy. Turns out it's exactly the kind of mind-melted neo-slacker degeneracy that I live for. Sweaty acne-riddled coming-of-age movies about basement-dwelling weirdos like this usually don't exist. Crumbcore that comes complete with scenes you can smell. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Bahad j I am very happy that the movie shows us the steps and choices that are necessary in the life of a great person. I like the movie.
