Where the Wild Things Are

Where the Wild Things reside is a very sad place. I was really disappointed in the movie. I thought that because there is so little story in the book that Spike Jonze and Dave Eggers would really be able to let their imagination go wild. Unfortunately, I felt like nothing happened other than what happened in the book. The Wild Things were very sad and in turn didn't help Max with the issues he was having. I had always imagined Max retreating into his mind and enjoying himself. This movie was really sad and lonely. I was truly disappointed.
