1	mele Wed 10/21/2009 3:12p	Not sure if anyone created this topic and I just missed it? Anyway, saw the film last night and absolutely LOVED it.
2	DAR Wed 10/21/2009 4:20p	I've heard it's more of an adult film than a kids film. But I want to see it.
3	mele Wed 10/21/2009 4:57p	My 11 year old loved it. I was laughing so hard I had tears just in the very first minute of the film. The kid who plays Max is fantastic. (Max was my nickname as a kid. I made mischief of one kind and another.)
4	Spooky Ghost Wed 10/21/2009 5:33p	While I liked it I can't really reccomend the film to anybody. Too emotionally complex and slow for children/families Too god drat depressing for adults.
5	mele Wed 10/21/2009 8:39p	I didn't think it was depressing at all! I smiled the entire way home. I didn't think it was too complex, either. In fact, it seemed the opposite to me. It seemed more on a kid's level than an adult's. The other kids in the theater didn't seem to think it was too slow or complex, either. They were pretty quiet...except for the howling near the end. The only thing I did think was that there was a couple of parts where younger kids, or more sensitive kids, would be scared, but that is so like life. I think we coddle kids too much when it comes to these things. Kids have incredibly complex emotions and most entertainment is dumbed down for no reason. Kids are always surrounded by big people/monsters who are having giant, complex emotions that maybe the children don't quite understand but are being torn apart by them anyway. That's the whole point. Max's family is being torn apart and he thinks he can control everything by being the person in charge but he still can't. I think kids understand that more than adults, actually.

7	A Happy Haunt Thu 10/22/2009 12:52p	it's very good!
8	DAR Thu 10/22/2009 2:59p	Because I'm so used to James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano it's going to be a little weird hearing his voice.
9	DAR Thu 10/22/2009 3:01p	as one of the Wild Things Btw I look forward to one day when confused parents or grandparents accidentally rent Wild Things for the kids.
