This was the worst movie I've ever seen. I mean, come on guys. It's getting praise for "exploring the physce of a depressed young boy". This was a children's book. This was marketed as a children's movie. I took my five year old to see it. She never cries. She cried the whole way home. I understood the plot and that the he saw himself mimicked in the wild things. I just thought the plot was stupid. Most of it was just very random babbling. I would equate it to being on a very depressing acid trip. The flowerchildren of the 70's wouldn't understand this movie.
