Running with Scissors looks great, and works fine when Bening is on screen; otherwise, it's off-balance, teetering where it should hold steady.

The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)
The excruciating display of bohemian spoils wears the word "delightful" in quotation marks, with a theatre accent.

As dysfunctional family movies go, this is one skip. It doesn't just run with the scissors, it falls on them.

The film trips over its willy-nilly story line and falls on its own blade.

Running With Scissors is a schizophrenic film. It simply doesn't know what it wants to be %u2014 a witty and wacky satire, or a serious and heartfelt drama.

This is an Igby Goes Down without the laughs, a morbid miscalculation of The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou size.

The first half rolls along like an excitable child hoping to entertain with each new stunt. But it loses the book's dark humour. Running with Scissors? More like a stumble.

In the real world, mental illness is a serious problem. In this film, it gives everyone a license to run around like characters in a Lewis Carroll story -- all of it set to predictable pop hits from the 1970s.
