I read the book, and have been looking for the movie in my area. I will see the movie on DVD when available. Yes, it is supposedly based on a true story, but so was "A Million Little Pieces" in which James Frey admittedly embellished and inserted untrue scenarios, yet claimed it to be true. Had I not been a social worker, and seen the most unbelievable family units, I would have found "Running" quite Unbelievable.
