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.

    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!

    Annette Bening Gives a Stellar Performance

    What would it be like to be raised by a single parent, bipolar mother? This movie gives a true insight to that dilemma based on the autobiographical book by Augusten Burroughs. Deirdre Burroughs (Annette Bening) starts out the movie pretty believable. She is neglected by her husband Norman(Alec Baldwin) and adored by her 13 year old son Augusten (Joseph Cross). But when Norman finally has enough of her ranting, he leaves forever. Deirdre then becomes the patient of a nutty psychiatrist, Dr. Finch(Brian Cox), and eventually turns over custody of her son to him. The doctor is a typical 1970s shrink that believes in popping pills for everything, group therapy, and letting your anger out. Meanwhile, Augusten is forced to live in the doctor's home with an assorted group of nuts: his wife ...

    Running With Scissors - The Book is Much Better!

    I read Augusten Burroughs' book, "Running With Scissors" soon after it was published and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Burroughs has an uncanny way of making the most horrific scenarios of his childhood funny. His entire childhood and teen years were full of sadness, insanity, and downright horror. Still, he draws the reader in and the book is hard to put down, thanks to his wit and twisted sense of humor. Sadly, the movie pales in comparison. While the actors played their roles well enough, the movie lost most of Burroughs' view of things. It's as if the script was just a straight take of the words Burroughs wrote. There was not much of a sense of irony to any of it. Annette Benning was good as the young Burroughs' mother. In fact, she may have captured her character better than anyone ...

    Running with Scissors

    I was a little dissappointed until I found out it was a true story. It's had to imagine that so many odd things can happen to one person. If you give the story a chance which is about 40 minutes it picks up nicely and ends well. This picture also was recommended by a friend. I found out that my daughter and granddaughter had read the book and really loved it. It is just so bizarre that at first you are wondering exactly what the point is to the movie. Give it a chance.

    Running with Scissors

    I read the book "Running with Scissors" on my therapists recommendation. It depicts the resilience of a young boy going through very strange experiences during his early teens. I was curious as to how it could be played out on screen, so bought the DVD. I rarely watch R rated films so was at times shocked at the content and language. However it was true to the story Augusten had written. It definitely portrayed both the sadness and horrible experiences he had, but still maintained the humor of his bizarre living situations. How anyone could manage to come through with any sense of normalcy is amazing. Fortunately Augusten had a close and nurturing connection with his mother in his early years so could see how crazy making his world had become His mother became more ill and dependent on her ...
