Where the wild things are

Nice affects but the movie itself was a bit slow.  It was not quite true to the book, I felt.  Still it was enjoyable for some of the mid-range youth.  Costuming was great.  Max starts off having an awful day with the local youth and his sister doesn't 'rescue' him so he takes it out on her room.  When he gets into trouble for the destruction and things he says to his mother, he is sent to his room where the adventure across the seas of time begins.  It is a bit long for the younger ones and has many dark scenes.  It was most attractive to the 9 to 11 year olds when we watched at the center.
