Running with Scissors (USA) (Sony/TriStar) (2006) **Year: 2006iMDB
Director: Ryan Murphy Cast: Annette Bening, Brian Cox, Joseph Fiennes, Evan Rachel Wood
Movies about dysfunctional families can be supremely funny albeit outrageous to some. In Running with Scissors there are some genuinely funny moments and Annette Bening does give a brilliant performance as the wreck mother, distraught wannabe poet who ends up giving her teenage son away for adoption to her shrink. However, apart from the premise, the funniest moments are captured by the movie trailer and Running with Scissors manages the rare performance (for this class of movies) to be almost boring even when it tries to be outrageous.
