I went to movies tonight with my good friends and my favorite little homies and had the pleasure of seeing Spike Jonze’s adaptation of the popular children’s book “Where The Wild Things Are”. I must say that it was a great movie. The visuals were on point with little to no CGI. The “monsters” were people in costumes with very advanced facial expressions.
The movie starts off slow and we see things through the eyes of a young child named Max. Max is going through the typical youngest child with a sister who is never there teenager, a working mom and a dad who doesnt stay with him. So poor Max is starved for attention and some other stuff happens and he winds up in another world.
He then comes across a group of creatures and tells them he is King to stop from becoming their meal. He leads the merry bunch into various adventures and situations learning along the way that nothing is perfect. Some other stuff happens and ends with him gazing at his mother.
I dont want to give away to much that is why I am vague. I think the movie was primarily made for adults because some of the subject matter is adult in nature. I would still bring my kid though, its only rated PG13. There were more adults then kids in attendance.
Where The Wild Things Are captures a youthful time and for that I thank them. Go see this flick, kids optional.

I think Spike Jonze missed out on a great opportunity to make something that would be meaningful to adults and children alike; almost the entire movie seemed like nonsense to me
