Where the Wild Things Are
PostedOctober 20, 2009

from Fort Worth, TX
I took my 6 yr old daughter in the hopes we would see true movie magic . . . not so much. There are some dark themese in the Wild Thing characters. My daughter cried when Carol tried to eat Max out of anger. It wasn't a "hey I'm just playing let's have some fun", it was "I am a real monster, and I am about to rip your guts out and eat your brains" kind of moment. Thankfully, the whole movie wasn't this way. They didn't do enough to develop Max's mother or sister so that you could better relate their emotions and feelings to the Whild Thing characters. Secondly, the level of depression in the Monsters was quite a bit deeper than that of the child. Yes, Max was upset with his mom, but he wasn't suicidal. The trailers were misleading.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
