i really enjoyed this movie! eventhough ive never read the book and honestly had no intrest in seeing the movie initially!i was shocked at how realistically the characters seemed (eventhough they were huge oafish….well wild things. the costumes were so well made i was wondering if there is really some area where these wild things live, because i couldnt imagine those costumes being fake! lol the main character max ws the cutest little kid and i think everybody can relate to him in some way. all in all i enjoyed the movie. great review

Great review! Didn’t know that you got “choked up” too. Your young “date” is my hero. I will read the book!

Read The Wild Things by Dave Eggers. It’s based on the screenplay of the movie, and is so good. I think it made me enjoy the movie more.

I know this is becoming common knowledge, but I’ve never seen a movie that was better than the book. A lot of this has to do with whether or not you read the book first though. I loved this book as a kid, so i gotta see the movie.

I am a middle school librarian and almost threw the old book away. I found it! It was saved and I ordered a new one. I just read it this week first time in my long life this week. Also read it to a class of 6th graders. Loved it.

In 1969, I was in the first grade. It was one of the first books I purchased from the schoolastic book sale. I remember the monsters scared me, but I was able relate to the little boy in the book. It’s a wonderful book and I can still remember “Where the Wild Things Are” a being the one of the first books I ever purchased and read.

I read Where the Wild are to my (now 30 year old) son. It was his favorite book and he even had a Max stuffed figure.
I ‘m looking forwar4d to seeing the movie-are children’s emotions really so different from adult’s?

Where the Wild Things Are is the book that sticks with me from childhood because it was the only book I ever remember my father reading to us. I have shared my love of this book with my own child and he too loves Max and the Wild Things, he will be dressed as Max this Halloween! I took him to the movie on Sunday and was a little worried because, at 4, it might be a little scary, but he was riveted and his main concern was “Where is the blue one” (His favorite Wild Thing) and “Where is their mommy.” I thought the movie was exceptional and did the book justice.

WTWTA was the book my mother took with us every time I had to go to the doctor as a very young child. Once, she said, she forgot to bring it, and so instead we sat in the waiting room and recited it from memory. (It is only ten lines long, after all — and I was sick a lot.)
