I came back from CR to find this movie sitting in my mail. I don't know when I added it to my list, but I am glad I did. Not a great movie, but interesting for sure. Great cast. It is the story of Augusten Burroughs upbringing during the seventies. I enjoyed the movie - Evan Rachel Wood and Gwyneth Paltrow both have small fun parts in the movie. Annette Benning was interesting as Augusten's driven but ultimately not talented mother. Alec Baldwin had a small roll as Augusten's alcoholic father. The Finch household was fun. It was also interesting to see a little of the original Dark Shadows. All in all, an entertaining film. There were some weak moments, but nothing that can't be overlooked.
