Rating: A
Premise: A child, Max, is a very exuberant “Wild Thing” of a child. After his mom screams at him, he sails off to an island of other “Wild Things” where he becomes their king. While there, he realizes that being the king of the wild things is not all it is cracked up to be.
Recommend: Yes, definitely. I’m not sure it is a great movie for kids – there are some really intense scenes and the meaning may go over their heads. If you are a Spike Jonze fan, you will really like this. I thought it was beautiful. The voice over and puppetry work was sensational.
