Judge it!
I enjoyed the movie although it was more surrealistic than the book. Though the book described the insanity sufficiently, the movie was just infused with it.
Also, I felt that where the book was mostly funny and only a little sad the movie was mostly sad and a little funny - NOT that I didn't enjoy it - I did. It was simply a more intense experience than reading the book was and perhaps more intense than I was prepared for. Many of the star's performances seemed of Oscar winning proportions.

Whether Running With Scissors was mostly accurate or rather infused, a la James Frey, with a million little pieces of fabrication is irrelevant.

This movie is pure cinematic torture that keeps teasing you it's mercifully going to end, but doesn't. Maybe there's a snicker or two in this overblown, undercharged madness, but it's hardly worth the pain.

Daily Horoscope for December 23
Aquarius
Someone is being bombastic and overbearing, and you don't like it. You aren't prepared to take their behavior lying down, but standing up to them is likely to result in a rip-roaring row. Well, it seems that the row is almost inevitable, and perhaps that's just as well because it won't do you any good to swallow your anger or tolerate this person's boorishness for much longer.
