Review of Running with Scissors (2006) by André D — 29 Dec 2008
I'm pretty sure that "heart warming" is NOT the right word...but somehow that is what pops into my head...perhpas "touching" is more appropriate?
In any case this film was not the quirky "dark comedy" that the trailer lead me to believe it would be.
Instead what I got was a very moving (and yes "quirky") period (1970's) piece about the life of one boy and his COMPLETELY disfunctional family (both biological & "adopted").
The cast is amazing and the writting (for the most part) is as clever as it is depressing.
All in all an enjoyable (but heartbreaking)story.
