As With the Newspaper Sections of Old, There’s Much To Like in ‘Funny Pages’

“Funny Pages” opens this week, and if you’re looking to see something unconventional in both content and construction, then it just might be the ticket for you. A scene from “Poltergeist” comes to mind: when JoBeth Williams’s character asks her husband, played by Craig T.

In that spirit, “Funny Pages” is an exhilarating watch and, despite its occasionally confrontational weirdness, a worthy entry in the coming-of-age genre.
