"Running with Scissors" is a topical work with a lot of gimmicks. The cast has brought together a number of acting stars. The characters on the scene have different personalities and have a lot to watch. It is difficult to achieve good box office results after its release. It's a pity that the director seems to use all his strength on how to design ingenious and ingenious scenes, instead of reproducing the real and tactile emotions in the original absurdity at the emotional level. This directly led to the wracked humorous irony and the maverick character setting all losing their charm, and the film was downgraded to a "failed American Beauty". However, the acting actors headed by Annette Bening still saved some face for the film. Unfortunately, due to the low evaluation of the work, it is difficult for Bening to win the Academy Award no matter how good his acting skills are

Running with Scissors quotes
-
Norman Burroughs: So... you're saying we should split up?
Dr. Finch: In order to reach that conclusion, Norman, I would need to see both you and Deirdre on a regular and disciplined basis, for five hours a day.
Deirdre Burroughs: I'm available, Doctor Finch.
Norman Burroughs: Five hours a day? I can't do that! I have to work!
Deirdre Burroughs: See, Doctor Finch, I told you. I'm married to a narcissist.
Dr. Finch: Norman, if I'm willing to clear my schedule to save your marriage, but you're not... then get out! Leave this office, go home, and start dividing your books and your record albums.
Norman Burroughs: This is bullshit. This is really fucking bullshit.
Dr. Finch: [begins writing in his notebook]
Norman Burroughs: What're you writing?
Dr. Finch: "Norman Burroughs is homicidal. He is an unapologetic alcoholic. He is dangerous and a threat to himself, his wife, and his child."
