Where the Emo Things Are

[daddytodd]

So, we saw "Where the Wild Things Are" yesterday afternoon. I can't ever remember seeing a movie that had more big, heavy sighs in it.

Or a worse load of shoegazing weepy emo folk-rock soundtrack.

It was well shot, the "Things" were great to look at, the acting was good -- the kid playing Max was really good. But I feel like the actors and filmmakers were let down by a bad script. Somebody get the screenwriters a prescription for Prozac!

I pretty much hated it, when I really, really wanted to like it.

It's possible you might like it better than I did. I'm kind of a tough audience, expecting films to have a plot and suchlike...
