where the wild things are

book: fantastic, cute, fun, interesting

movie: absolutely terrible. stress and contention the entire time, grownup issues being forced on kids, nothing resolved, using violence/sarcasm/destruction/meanness to deal with frustrations, no break from it all and no resolution or peace ever. the cinematography is very jumpy almost the entire time, and it actually made me feel motion sickness, which isn't usually a big problem for me. a couple cute moments don't make up for the rest of this awful movie. not at all what I imagined from reading the book.
