Where the Wild Things Are Movie Synopsis

Max, a rumbunctious and sensitive boy, feels misunderstood at home and escapes to where the Wild Things are. Max lands on an island where he meets mysterious and strange creatures whose emotions are as wild and unpredictable as their actions.

The Wild Things desperately long for a leader to guide them, just as Max longs for a kingdom to rule. When Max is crowned king, he promises to create a place where everyone will be happy. Max soon finds, though, that ruling his kingdom is not so easy and his relationships there prove to be more complicated than he originally thought.

Based on the classic children's story by Maurice Sendak.

  Nothing Like The Book not a good film

  to boring

  GREAT MOVIE! I got a perfect name for it: a fantasy comedy-drama! Please let adults know that it's not a movie for kids; it's a movie about "psychology"! There is a lot of important lessons in the movie and it's a lot better than the book! Even adults will enjoy!
