MCT:September 21, 2008I thought this was a pretty good movie,I had read alot of mixed reviews before watching this and wanted to judge for myself,I quite enjoyed it to tell you the truth,it was so oddly interesting it held me all the way through,for some reason I wanted to see what the next crazy person's action was going to be,lol.It just made the thing before it seem almost normal.Anyway I thought it was pretty good,definitely worth a watch.=)

MCT:December 24, 2007This movie is weird but good. A complex film about the childhood of novelist Augusten Burroughs who had a bipolar-poet mother and a alcoholic father, they decide to divorce , Augusten finishes living with his mother's shrink an his screwed family. The story seems interesting, with a nice dark humor and tear dropping drama. The music is excellent, it reflects the 70's perfectly. The cast is excellent, Annette Bening's performance was flawless, Joseph Fiennes has a very convincing role as Neil Bookman, Brian Cox as Dr. Finch great as always, Evan Rachel Wood and Gwyneth Paltrow were very good also and Joseph Cross as Augusten Burroughs delivers a awesome and convincing acting job. This is a fully recommendable movie one of 2006 best.

MCT:December 3, 2008Running with Scissors has become one of my favorite movies.
It's characters are as colorful as a box of crayola crayons and twice as fun.
The story is heartbreaking as well as heart warming,all set to a fantastic Seventies Soundtrack.
It's hard to pick out a Stand out because their all so wonderful.
Although In my opinion Rachel Evan Wood and Jill Clayburgh were the most effective in their roles.Jill Clayburgh could have overplayed her role but she didn't she was subtle yet very effective as the neglected eccentric housewife Agnes.Rachel Evan Wood is always a delight to watch,no exception here.
Joseph Fiennes also gives a wonderful performance as the schizophrenic homosexual "Neil Bookman" who although a tortured soul shows a tender childlike side that we all can relate to.
Joseph Cross as Augustin Burroughs is charming and a joy to watch.
Annette Benning was the only person nominated and it was for a Golden Globe,.
I would have to disagree and give the others mentioned a Nod as well.
The music and songs fit so well with the scenes that you find yourself anticipating the music as much as the scenario itself.If you have ever thought you or your family were eccentric or out of the "so called" Norm you will really get a kick out of this movie.
This is definitely in my top 20 films of all time.

Augusten Buroughs is wonderfully brilliant. I hope they interpreted the book on screen appropriately. The cover makes me giggle alone, so we shall see.
