Which is worse: the unrealistic romanticising of two dying teenagers - including them fucking in the Anne Frank House as a tasteless metaphor - in The Fault in Our Stars; or any one of the also unrealistic events in It's Kind of a Funny Story, including the small part where the 15 year-old protagonist legitimately thinks a schizophrenic guy - whose voice he already compared to that of Mr Hankey from South Park - suddenly blurting out repeatedly that his mother beat him with hammers out of nowhere and seeming a bit out of sorts is funny? I actually can't tell.
