Q: Where the Wild Things Are; A: Suicide Watch
I’ll link you to my review of Where the Wild Things Are, but I won’t make you read any more of my rambling. Nope, to sum this particular flick up, I’ll just paste what Deadspin’s Dashiell Bennett said about this particular picture:
How was your weekend? Did you see “Where The Wild Things Are,” the first kids’ movie designed to make you hate childhood? No wonder there are so many nine-year-olds on Prozac these days. Sheesh. Lighten up, Francis.
That pretty much sums it up. If you’ll excuse me, I have to go cheer myself up with some Elliott Smith and Nembutal.
I like your review. The movie is definitely on my Borrow It From The Library list.
Thank you, sir. It’s a great movie, just not a children’s movie. Not until they hit about 8-10.
