Running with Scissors (2006) directed by Ryan Murphy, starring Annette Bening, Joseph Cross, Joseph Fiennes, Alec Baldwin, Brian Cox, Gwyneth Paltrow, Evan Rachel Wood, Jill Clayburgh, Gabrielle Union, Patrick Wilson

Problems abound in Ryan Murphy’s adaptation of Augusten Burroughs‘ auto-biographical novel — from the cartoonish humor to an unappealing lead character overflowing with self-pity. A generally solid cast, however, prevents this comedy-drama from becoming a complete failure. Annette Bening, in particular, is outstanding as the poetess too immature and self-absorbed to raise a son.
