This film is so adult: violent, filled with double meaning, adult conversation, sad, sick and strange that it can only be described as a betrayal of the book. I had to take my 4-year old who loves the book, crying from the movie. He had a million questions about why they were all so mean to each other and why didn’t Max’s room turn into a forest and why they said bad things their friends.

Don’t make my mistake – avoid this movie like the plague. This movie has no redeeming value.

Never read the book, but the movie tries way too hard to be indie. Loved the director’s other movies, but this was just bad and depressing. The kid was just so rude and annoying-like most kids these days!! Not worth your time…

This was playing on our airplane flight coming home from the East Coast. My 9 year old son was so excited. After about 15 minutes I couldn’t even watch it anymore and took my headphones off. About 5 minutes later he took his off and told me he didn’t like it at all. After we landed my husband who was sitting across from us said he made it 10 minutes into it and thought it was one of the worst movies he had ever seen. Don’t waste your time or money!

Picture every single indie rock cliche that ever existed, and put them in a blender, and voila! Karen O and the kids. VOMIT.
