This movie is a gigantic downer. Some of the parts are laugh-out-loud funny. But other parts, that were obviously meant to be funny, missed completely. I felt embarrased by how bad some of the jokes missed.

The movie didn’t compare at all to the book. I hate how the movie jumped around all the scenes and they didn’t even pay attention to Augusten’s age in some parts, and there wasn’t a third daughter, and one of the daughter’s was supposed to be chubby, but instead she was stick thin.
I dunno, I was just totally unimpressed D:

book is wayyyy better! The movie is okay and the acting was good, I really thought they did a good job with casting but the movie dosent do the book justice I think. Hmm I guess that is the case most time though ?

Definitely did not compare to the book (but really what movie does?), I expected it to be far more entertaining than it was, but it was definitely worth watching… just to see how the movie would portray some aspects of the book, or if it would show them at all. However, the movie never really took ahold of all of my attention.

My favorite scene, which lasts about two minutes, is when Augusten has to get his stomach pumped at the hospital. I thought it was very gripping and the most emotionally captivating happening in the whole movie(!).

Whoa…. I totally hated this movie, walked out of the theatre in fact, but everyone else on all consuming who has seen it before me liked it. Could I be some kind of anomaly? Could I have misjudged this film? Enlighten me.
