Summary: Running with Scissors DVD
Comment: Definitely a waste of time. I expected more from top actors and actresses but they had no substance to work from. I expected a comedy. NOT. Very dark and depressing. The book was worse; don't waste your time on either.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Miserable
Comment: Ridiculous and atrocious. Does a disservice to a mediocre book. And all backed by a soundtrack that's unnecessary and completely out of place. Avoid.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Help ! Again, with the ending

Summary: Running With Scissors
Comment: This movie was very different from what I would usually watch, but I did enjoy it quite a lot. It was recommended to me by a friend as otherwise I doubt that I would have ever ordered it. I have watched it a couple of times now and I do recommend it to anyone with an open mind as it is a bit strange but has a great cast of actors. I especially enjoyed the ending as I feel it has a happy one which I always like.

Summary: A non stop nostalgic "Manic" blast
Comment: Running 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 Evan Rachel 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.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.

Based on the personal memoirs of Augusten Burroughs, Running with Scissors is a wickedly funny, brave and moving tale of surviving a most unusual childhood. Augusten's (Joseph Cross) mother (Annette Bening) is a deluded aspiring post with bipolar disorder whose marriage to his dad (Alec Baldwin) is in ruins. Soon, she is seeing a very eccentric therapist named Dr. Finch (Brian Cox), while Augusten is left in the care of Finch's wackly family, including his tightly-wound daughter (Gwyneth Paltrow). Abandoned by his parents and adopted by the Finches, he finds a kindred spirit in youngest daughter Natalie (Even Rachel Wood) and motherly support from Finch's long suffering wife Agnes (Jill Clayburgh). Constantly recording the events of his life in his journals as a way to cope, Augusten finds himself avoiding school, learning about love from an older man (Joseph Fiennes), and making big decisions at the tender age of fifteen.
