Where the Wild Things Are (2009)Directed by Spike Jonze, rated PG, minutes
Where the Wild Things Are is an exuberant and enchanting family film about a disobedient young boy who, after getting in a fight with his mom and sister, runs away and ends up in a bizarre land filled with giant creatures. Max Records is unbelievable in just his second film, hitting all the right notes, and all the wild things are made with an excellent mix of costuming and CGI. The main drawback of the film is that the book it's based on is so short, that there isn't enough plot to fill a full movie. 
But overall, Where the Wild Things Are has enough poignant moments and beautiful visuals to make a satisfying fantasy film. You'll like it if: You like family movies, the book, Spirited Away, Being John Malkovich or Little Miss Sunshine.
