I've read the book and I loved it, so I'm curious to see how the movie turns out. I think Augusten Burroughs was involved in the writing of the script, so that's usually a good sign. Here's a link to the movie's official site if you want to see the trailer: www.sonypictures.com/homevideo/runningwithscissors/

I'm a huge Augusten fan, but don't want to see the movie. I've heard it's horrible....
Augusten was incredibly happy with it though, which I thought was odd.
His books are some of my all time very favorites though, and I have a fear of movies ruining any part of the joy my favorite books bring me, so I'm always hesitant to see them.

I saw the movie last week and I wrote about it in the movie thread - it's not bad, it sort of gives an overview of his life with the Finches, but it's not really worth seeing it if you've read the book...
