Where the Wild Things Are

 

Film—Where the Wild Things Are

Let's face it—being an adult stinks sometimes. When you're paying bills, scrubbing toilets or driving carpool, how often have you wished you were anywhere else? That's why we love the film adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's book. 

When sent to bed without supper, Max—who thinks it kind of stinks being a kid sometimes—escapes to a magical world where he's the leader of some fabulously ferocious creatures, but he learns some important lessons about love and family along the way. 

Where the Wild Things Are opens October 16.
