The film tells the story of Max, a rambunctious and sensitive boy who feels misunderstood at home and escapes to where the Wild Things are.

Max soon finds, though, that ruling his kingdom is not so easy and his relationships there prove to be more complicated than he originally thought.

    I was a bit disappointed, I think i would have enjoyed it more with the sound muted, the attempts at extracting a narrative out of the original children's classic didn't really work, which is disappointing because I am a big fan of Dave Eggers novels whom co wrote the script.

    Not impressed with this movie at all. Dont think it would be suitable for kids at all. Wouldnt even think it would be suitable for adults unless they read the book.
