Even the kid running away instead of going to his room (the only thing I was disappointed in was not seeing his room transform) - and seeing max's parents' marriage fall apart through the wild things - yeah - I'd say it reaches the adult more than the child. And I thought it was really good and really captured the spirit of the book.Jason Pruetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12283922633156288717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983073.post-85354826205123434332009-10-17T23:30:55.208-04:002009-10-17T23:30:55.208-04:00I was really torn up at the end, I got really emot...I was really torn up at the end, I got really emotional about it. Quite a fantastic movie, I went in trying not to let expectations put it up on some unattainable pedestal, much to my surprise, it exceeded them. Such dark moments at the end, I almost forgot that it's a PG film.Eric Braddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00357831950779008573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983073.post-29479696146129512152009-10-17T12:31:00.678-04:002009-10-17T12:31:00.678-04:00Kim - I;m not sure how kids will react.

And when it's impossible to express an emotion the answer to throw someone, jump on top of them...it's completely physical movie.Irene Gallohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15440976373621593153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983073.post-5023041997427659442009-10-17T03:22:37.200-04:002009-10-17T03:22:37.200-04:00I loved it, and definitely think it spoke to the a...I loved it, and definitely think it spoke to the adult child.
