Soon, she is seeing a very eccentric therapist named Dr. Finch (Brian Cox) whilst Augusten is left in the care of Finch's wacky 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 (Evan Rachel Wood) and motherly support from Finch's long suffering wife Agnes (Jill Clayburgh).

A wunderkind horror novelist about to buckle under the pressures of his publisher's expectations and a messy divorce settlement experiences a chance encounter that sends him spiraling into darkness in this intimate horror film. Stephen Grimes is a bestselling author who has mastered the art of the paperback shocker. But lately Stephen has been under increasing pressure from his writer and editor to turn out another book, and his ex-wife is making their divorce settlement as miserable as humanly possible. One night, while cruising the back roads on a moonlit drive, Stephen accidentally hits a young man named Emett. Later, after rushing Emett to a nearby hospital, the author and the boy strike up a tenuous friendship. Before long that friendship has erupted into a torrid sexual affair, thrusting the author into a sinister story that seems to have been ripped straight from the pages of one of his own disturbing stories.
Straight-Jacket (2004)
The film plays fast and loose with the conventions of the 1950s Technicolor romantic comedy. Appropriately, it is also inspired by the true-life story of closeted homosexual actor Rock Hudson, who starred in many such comedies. Guy Stone (Matt Letscher) is a matinee heart-throb whose popularity is matched by his libido. But when a scandal sheet threatens to reveals his homosexuality, which in the climate of the time would destroy his career, his agent marries him off to an unsuspecting secretary. When Guy then falls for gay screenwriter Rick, however, he is tempted to end his marriage and openly embrace his sexuality. It satirizes classic Hollywood romantic comedies by giving them a queer twist.

Göran och Sven har blivit godkända för adoption. Problemet är att det saknas givarländer som accepterar homosexuella föräldrar. En dag öppnar sig en möjlighet att få adoptera ett svenskt föräldralöst barn, "Patrik 1,5", men när Patrik anländer visar han sig vara någon annan än det trott. Ett kommatecken har hamnat fel i byråkratin och in kliver en femtonårig homofob med kriminellt förflutet.
Couple Goran and Sven's application has been approved but the problem is that there aren't any babies available for adoption for gay parents. One day, the couple has been informed of an opportunity to adopt a Swedish orphan described as "Patrik 1.5." The two are so exhilarated to learn the good news but when Patrik shows up, he is not exactly the baby the couple has in mind. A comma has been misplaced in the description of the adopted child who is actually a fifteen-year old homophobe with criminal history.
