An adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's story, where Max (Max Records), a disobedient little boy sent to bed without his supper, creates his own world--a forest inhabited by ferocious wild creatures that crown Max as their ruler.
Mark Ruffalo played the boyfriend? Really? I totally did not recognize him.
This film runs a bit on the long side, especially given how short the source material is. I am also unclear what the point is. If we are supposed to feel bad for the boy, I guess it failed on me. He was a trouble-maker and disrespectful. If my kids are ever like that, they better not expect to get away without getting punished.
The creature effects were actually pretty good (thanks, Jim Henson Company) and were a lot of fun. Not sure about the celebrity voices... if you cannot see the actor, why not just hire someone unknown for less? Did many people really flock to this film to hear James Gandolfini's voice?
