This is my favorite of your reviews. Glad you all liked the movie so much, it was one of the best movies I'd seen last year.

[GabnDad]

@CineRam Thanks! This film still holds a warm place in my heart since last year.

I remember reading that book when I was a kid years back. Looking forward to seeing this flick. Doesn't look like your usual children's flick. But then again Spike Jonze isn't your usual director! LOL

Excellent review as always. Very nice pic at the end of the vid. Is that baby Max?

[GabnDad]

Yes, that's Max on his red carpet debut! ;)

Thanks for the review. I'm hoping to take my son to see this tomorrow. Sounds like he may be challenged, but I don't regard this as a negative thing - children's literature has a rich seam of darker themes that I'm sad to say hasn't been mined enough in mvoies yet. I'm hoping this will be a film that stays special for him, like the book did for me.

[GabnDad]

Thanks for your comment! I do hope your son gets something out of it. I am looking forward to rewatching it with Max at different age intervals, to get something new out of it each time.

Nice review. I think people in this country too often underestimate children and what they're capable of. Funny that you should bring up Cloudy w/ a Chance of Meatballs, cuz I think that's the perfect example of the type of media condescension of children that we see so often these days. We need more kids' films like Wild Things - that provoke thought and intelligent conversation, and not food raining from the sky.

AWW!! your son is adorable^^

its great that he managed to feel some emotions for this film.where you mentioned that the beasts might represent some of the characters own feelings, thats the type of thing that draws me to a movie, the hidden meanings to it. and to see this (which is usually only used in more adult films) in a kids film is a great thing to see. people don't give kids enough credit, they understand more than you think they can, and giving them a more mature view is a good thing^^

I never read the book but the film was quite confusing to me, I know it was about growing up and escapism from reality. I felt there was too many beasts and some you couldnt exactly relate to or establish why they are there - confused!

Max should have his own channel

This movie was okay. I thought that it was a bit violent for a picture book, haha.

Cute review! My name is Max too and when I was young I was just like your kid! I loved this movie. Out of all the reviewers on youtube you guys are definitely some of the coolest, have a happy easter or whatever :P

PS - Adaptation rules too!

What are you two doing? You're hurting that boy! This boy obviously didn't like this movie, like any other normal kid, and you're forcing ideas down his throat, the kid is just yessing you to death! He doesn't need your negative bullshit he needs POSITIVITY!

You two are just as dark and screwed up as this movie was! Run kid, run away!!! Get away from these two negative assholes!! Go watch The Dark Crystal or Star Wars! Life is not about being miserable, its about being POSITIVE and HAPPY!!
