Augusten's quirky life
1 October 2007
This was a fairly entertaining film. Augusten has a bipolar mom and an alcoholic dad. His dad leaves the family because he can't take him crazy mom any more. His mom, Deirdre, starts seeing a nutty psychiatrist, who gives her lots of pills and takes her money. She lets the doctor adopt her son. The doctor has a younger daughter, Natalie, who befriends Augsten. His older daughter, Hope, is obsessed with the bible and thinks all will be solved by praying. Hope and her dad even setup a shrine to the doctor's poo. Just watch to see what I mean. Augusten takes up with a much older man whom is a crazy patient. His life is just all messed up from what he has to live with.

FINAL VERDICT: Entertaining, has imagination. Worth seeing.
