If it makes you feel better, I couldn’t make the screening. My writer Eric did. You’re not missing out on much; the award screenings schedule has been lackluster so far. Not a lot of high-profile movies yet. Hey, if you get any good DVDs, let me know!

OK, another review I am too scared to read. Sorry!!

But I have been dying to see this movie and don’t want to go into it with any preconceived notions. But am so jealous of you for seeing it before we did. Man, having a baby really put a dent in our award screenings schedule! Hope we get lots of DVDs this year! 🙂

Thanks for the heads up, Eric ~ I’ll pass your caution on to my sister for the sake of my niece and nephew. And I’ll be prepared myself, since I’m such a wuss! I’m really looking forward to the scenery and watching Sonny Gerasimowicz’s creative work.

Eric, wonderfully written review (for which this parent is very grateful – especially for that warning). Thanks for this.

Wondering how they were going to adapt it so the even I could enjoy. Thankfully, I don’t have any kids to worry about. Hell, I might even go wearing my own homemade monster outfit.

Great review! Looks like the classic tale made it to the big screen, but had the 21st century makeover as many do now-a-days. In the end, sounds like it came out fine, but the warning for younger viewers is definitely a good thing which is sure to come in handy for watchful parents.

Sounds good. I remember the book as pretty edgy which is what makes it stand out after all these years. Dying to enter Spike’s version of this world.

I agree. I think a great deal of parents intend to take their small ones to this film, but it is rated PG, so buyer beware, right?

During the Q&A after the screening I attended, the collaborators (who are childlike themselves in many ways) dropped the F bomb more than once. It was almost as though they weren’t aware of how many young kids were in the audience.

Good to know about age appropriateness. There are probably many parents who weren’t/aren’t aware of that. Sounds like a great film, though!
