Not for under 10 ...

Where the Wild Things Are is an emotional movie, based on a childs journey and growth. Don't expect Disney-like lightheartedness, but do expect an indepth look into the complexities of a child's emotions, found on some level, in all of the characters in the movie. I took my 10 year old son. I don't recommend it for anyone under 10, as they won't get it, and may be bothered by some of the anger issues. It resulted in some great discussion between my son and I. I loved the way Max's real world paralleled his imaginary world, and how in one he was the child, and the other he was the adult. The two mirrored successfully giving the viewer alternate views of a situation. Gandolfini is an awesome big kid! Take your pre-teens and enjoy the journey.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Parents be wary ...

The Dark Knight is a fantastic movie ... for adults. I think it should have been given an R rating ... it was dark, intense, violent ... Ledgers "Joker" is so psychologically twisted I'm afraid children will be frightened. He is not the comical joker portrayed by Nicholson previously, so don't go expecting to laugh. That all being said, as an adult, I was enthralled by the story, the performances and non-stop action. We get more Gary Oldman this time too and he was fantastic as always. Go and enjoy, but this reviewer suggests you leave anyone under 14 at home.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
