Movie Reviews

WaffleMovies.com - 10/10 by Willie WaffleRunning With Scissors has one of the most talented casts in any movie you will see this year, led by sure thing Oscar nominee Annette Benning.
Film Experience - 9/10 by Nathaniel RogersDespite passages of comic lunacy lifted directly from the book, this is all curiously unfunny.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 9/10 by Ken HankeIt's a film about dreams, about gurus and disciples, about self-centered people destroying each other. Yes, it can make you laugh, but it breaks your heart at the same time.
South Florida Sun-Sentinel - 9/10 by Phoebe FlowersTaken as a whole, Running With Scissors is dysfunction rendered lovingly and gracefully.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 9/10 by Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)The movie gets the pain of [the author's] story, but it misses the humor that got him through the craziness around him.
Groucho Reviews - 9/10 by Peter CanaveseWith its compulsive theatricality, Running With Scissors enacts what may be the most unpleasant brand of insanity in a film full of them.
Movie Mom - 9/10 by Nell MinowBrilliant performances are not enough to make up for a story that is no deeper than the perky 70's hits on the soundtrack. The actors fill the characters with life and conflict. But they can't fill the movie, which feels hollow.
Detroit News - 8/10 by Tom LongJust as the title implies, Running with Scissors falls down and impales itself at nearly every turn. It's one big uh-oh and ouch of a movie.
Houston Chronicle - 8/10 by Bruce WestbrookIt's one of the most clear-headed -- and twistedly entertaining -- views of drug dependency and insanity I've ever seen.
New York Post - 8/10 by Lou LumenickWhile Murphy never manages to make this crazy quilt dramatically credible, he does hit the mark for laughs and has written some juicy scenes for his excellent cast.
