Where the Wild Things Are

Slow pacing hinders this visually stunning, adult-geared, creative, Spike Jonze fantasy film based on Maurice Sendak's classic children's book about a lonely, rebellious boy (Max Records) who meets mysterious, magical, and strange creatures (voiceovers by James Gandolfini, Forest Whitaker, Paul Dano, Catherine O'Hara, Michael Berry, Jr., and Chris Cooper) in his vivid imagination after he runs away from his worried, stressed-out mother (Catherine Keener), her boyfriend (Mark Ruffalo), and his older sister (Pepita Emmerichs) one stormy night.
