Augusten's (Joseph Cross) mother (Annette Bening) is a deluded aspiring post with bipolar disorder whose marriage to his dad (Alec Baldwin) is in ruins. Soon, she is seeing a very eccentric therapist named Dr. Finch (Brian Cox), while Augusten is left in the care of Finch's wackly family, including his tightly-wound daughter (Gwyneth Paltrow). Abandoned by his parents and adopted by the Finches, he finds a kindred spirit in youngest daughter Natalie (Even Rachel Wood) and motherly support from Finch's long suffering wife Agnes (Jill Clayburgh). Constantly recording the events of his life in his journals as a way to cope, Augusten finds himself avoiding school, learning about love from an older man (Joseph Fiennes), and making big decisions at the tender age of fifteen.

In this movie almost everybody was crazy. The fact that I later noticed that it was based on a true story scared me even more. Maybe not so much until I realized that even this can be reality.

The effort to enjoy Murphy's film cannot be denied. The problem lies in the fact that it misses the mark. It is a perfect case of a dysfunctional movie that does not hold up in terms of both the dramatic and comedic aspects. That's a shame considering the strong cast because, with each passing minute, this group of misfits will likely get on your nerves more and more. Woody Allen, in his weaker films from the late period, still managed to portray similar types of intellectuals from New York in a more entertaining and believable way. Overall impression: 30%.
