Where the Wild Things Go

On Tuesday, November 24, 2009 I went to see the movie Where the Wild Things Go. This is the movie that's based upon the children's book. It was also offered in 3D, but I only caught it in 2D.

Oh my goodness, where do I begin with this film?

First of all, it's not worth it. I don't think that the 3D would have helped the film in any way. I have not read the book, but after seeing the movie, I do not want to read the book. I don't understand what the hype was about. This movie was confusing. I could not believe that at the end of the movie someone said, "This movie was good."

I think that this movie was worse than Premonition (where it was confusing, but it made sense) or Dead Funny (which was a movie that I thought was the worst movie I have ever seen). I think this one takes the cake. The person who wrote the book or the movie must have been high on something because it made no sense at all whatsoever.

You have some kid with issue who dresses up like Mario with the Raccoon suit from Super Mario Bros. 3 and he's got no patience whatsoever and expects his mother to come running to his every need. When he feels ignored, he puts on the suit, gets on table and refuses to come down from the table - which in turn ruins his mother's date. (The parents are divorced) Then when the mother tries to send him to his room without dinner as a consequence for disobeying her, he bites her and runs off.

He then goes to this world with these really big beings, hangs around for a while, goes home to a mother who forgave him for everything and feeds him soup, chocolate cake and milk!

What type of screwed up movie is this?!!

I don't think this one is as bad as The Star Wars Holiday special, but it's probably pretty close.
