Innovative director Spike Jonze collaborates with celebrated author Maurice Sendak to bring one of the most beloved books of all time to the big screen in "Where the Wild Things Are," a classic story about childhood and the places we go to figure out the world we live in. 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 lands on an island where he meets mysterious and strange creatures whose emotions are as wild and unpredictable as their actions. The Wild Things desperately long for a leader to guide them, just as Max longs for a kingdom to rule. When Max is crowned king, he promises to create a place where everyone will be happy. 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. MPAA Rating: PG © 2009 KLG Film Invest GmbH.

This film is so agonisingly painful to watch, it is most likely that it reduces your life expectancy drastically just because you want to die after viewing such a horrific failure of an attempt to entertain people. This film should be shown in schools to teach kids about the effects of hard drugs because the directors were definitely not sane when they produced this. I would strongly recommend avoiding this film (not that it deserves to be classed as a film) unless you enjoy horrifically torturing yourself.

Deep, melancholy, complex, beautiful. It's a film that doesn't patronize children or adults, nor does it bend to slapstick tropes and throwaway humor like most other family oriented films nowadays. There is something real here hidden within the folds of magical realism. A big hit in our household, the kids adored it, and we read the book before and after. I wish they'd make more family films like this. Masterful.

Well done if you rated this film 1 star because you are a true human unlike the people who made this painfully agonising film that makes you want to rip out your eyes then replace them and rip those eyes out aswell
