I’ve been to this movie today with my eight year old son. He doesnt understand english but still became very scared of the monster trying to eat the child when he became upset. Had to leave the movie before it ended.

if i had watched WTWTA as a child, i would have either been bored out of my mind or disturbed; either way, I’m baffled as to why they would disguise this movie as something that would appeal to children

Thanks, GMR! I thought they brought up some interesting points and questions that I haven’t seen in any adult’s review.

Well, as long as your nephews don't require therapy after this movie, it's all good!

Hi Eric, your opinion wasn’t wrong. You were just looking out and that’s cool.

Wish I could say that. Almost no editing was required! Their reports are always super clean; the grammar, punctuation, including the hyphenated words—all theirs. As a grammar nerd myself, I can’t tell you how happy that makes me.

Great reviews! It’s great to see what the audience it was intended for really thinks about a film…instead of just the adults. =0)

Thanks, Shell. Mena is also a gifted artist. I’m going to recommend that she checks out your artwork!

I saw this over the weekend as well and brought along my two nephews. They are ages 5 & 7. The youngest one spent most of the movie in sitting in my lap holding on for dear life, but the older one seemed okay with it. He did ask me why Max’s dog didn’t bite him when Max finally grabbed hold of him.

They both loved the wild rumpus and dirt clod fight though.

I just kept thinking that Max and the monsters needed some serious therapy.
