Worst movie I have seen this year. The movie is slow, boring and the characters unlikable. I was hoping for a magical, feel good movie, with a positive message (like the book) that my 8 and 11 year old daughters and 9 year old nephew would love. Instead, the Wild Things were clinically depressed. I sat waiting for the light at the end of the tunnel or resolution to these creatures fears and sadness. My daughters left in tears and my nephew said it was the worst movie he has ever seen.
