About this product

Product Information

Based on the bestselling memoir by Augusten Burroughs, RUNNING WITH SCISSORS features an all-star cast including Annette Bening, Brian Cox, Evan Rachel Wood, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Alec Baldwin. As a child, Augusten (Joseph Cross) completely adores his narcissistic mother Deirdre (Bening). Her biggest fan, he encourages her goal of becoming a published poet when no one else will. But while these dreams of grandeur seem innocent through Augusten's young eyes, they grow more delusional with time, slowly wearing on the family and contributing to its demise. While a teenage Augusten skips school and his father Norman (Alec Baldwin) uses alcohol to escape, Deirdre calls in an eccentric psychiatrist for an outside opinion. Dr. Finch's advice ends up being anything but professional, however, as his looseness with prescriptions and wacko theories end Deirdre's dysfunctional marriage and prompt her to abandon Augusten. Left to spend his teenage years as part of Dr. Finch's outlandish family, Augusten struggles to find himself while surrounded by a series of tormented and over-analyzed individuals. Director Ryan Murphy relies heavily on music to express the emotions of his characters and to ground viewers in time, bringing the memoir to life with classic 1970s songs by Elton John, the Average White Band, and Nat King Cole. Seemingly modeled visually after Wes Anderson's THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS, the film revolves around intricately over-the-top sets which aim to reflect the neuroses of its characters. In making most of the film as dramatic as possible, Murphy sometimes threatens to overshadow what are undeniably fine actors at work. The film's saving grace comes in its non-fiction source material, as viewers without that knowledge may find the characters too peculiar and the story too unbelievable for their own good.

    Although item was - indeed - New - still in shrink wrap (and the DVD was fine - no marks/scratches) - - none-the-less - the DVD]'s container was cracked all the way left to right. Yes, easy to miss - esp. still under shrink wrap - - but definitely something condition-wise that would have been nice to have known. Otherwise: accurately described and imaged = recommended seller.

    Depressing comedy

    I thought by the reviews this would be funny. It simply uses humor to express the futility of wasted and compromised lives

    Weird movie.

    I LOVE Augusten Burroughs's books. He is a fabulous writer, very interesting and so funny! But this movie, if you haven't read the book, is quite depressing and seems ridiculous. The actors do a fine job, it's not that. I'm just saying that if you want to watch this movie, be SURE to read his book first!
