Running with Scissors wasn't what I thought it would be. Although it was disappointing at times the hilarious dialogue made up for it. Augusten Burroghs is sent to live with the crazy Finch family where he soon learns to grow up and take chances. The movie is an emotional roller-coaster going from good to bad in seconds. Most of it comes from Diedre, Augustens crazy mother who is many times drugged by Dr.Finch and taken to a motel. Many scenes just make you laugh because they're so sad, for instance In a scene where Augusten and Natalie are making a skylight over the kitchen. You bounce from the two, to Diedre, to Neil Bookman where they all scream simultaneously which makes the scene unforgettable. Readers of the book will either be disappointed or will love it. I for one thought it was a 50/50, it wasn't as strong as I thought it would be but it was still a great film.
I give it a ten because I'm still laughing over the movie..
