Where the Wild Things are

Friends are like bras: close to your heart and there for support.

Watched where the wild things are and well, I came out with mixed feelings toward the film. Surely you've read on your friend's list of people stating, "Where the Wild Things Are is NOT for kids", and they're right. It's not. A kid film would be for Max, the main character of the film and novel, to have a happy life in the commencement of the film. He doesn't. Frankly, my friends and I can relate to some of his problems when we were at that age, and it isn't memories we are fond of. To me, it's a tad audacious for its refusal to be supportive at the beginning which is what tickled me a bit.

Throughout the film we see Max venture into the colorful world of the Wild Things. Most of the film has Max trying to make friends with the Wild Things, them accepting Max as king, and how surprisingly violent Carol is, (voiced by famed Soprano James Gandolfini).

The film didn't leave any impact on me emotionally like the way Marley and Me has. Btw; sorry to digress but I just saw Marley and Me not to long ago and that movie... oh man I seriously shed manly tears.

Anyways, I'm not saying it's bad, actually I would recommend it seeing how a lot of people I know are praising the film. It IS a good movie, but it's not something I'd praise.

"Don't go... I'll eat you up, I love you so." < I love this line. I really do.
