Letdown
PostedJanuary 2, 2010

Although I give the acting an 'A' in this flick (esp enjoyed Anna Kendrick), this movie was simply way too slow (fought to stay awake), and chuckles were far and few between. I'd definitely wait for DVD.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

This is a great couples movie! Actors are perfect for their roles, and there are many "laugh-out-loud" moments! See it!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Love the Book, NOT the Movie

See this movie, and it just may ruin your image of Maurice Sendak's wonderful children's picture book. In the movie, Max throws a fit one night before dinner and begins jumping up and down on the kitchen table. His Mother yells at him to get off the *#@ table, he bites her, and runs away to a land of monsters who can be just as bad. They do things like destroy their huts and punch holes in trees because they "hate them". They build a beautiful fort, but decide that if anyone comes in that they don't want, their brains will automatically be cut out. I just didn't get it. I was bored, confused, disgusted, and apalled. This is harsh, but I'm not sure what any child could gain from this movie other than a few bullying tactics.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
