a brilliant movie filled with wonder. has you amazed the whole way through , its great for all ages and is a heart warming movies for the whole family. i would highly recommend this for anyone who has read the book as a child because i know that i used to read it everyday and the movie was a flashback of my childhood. You should deffinetly buy this movie i give it 5 stars.
What an amazing movie this is. When I first saw this I was completely taken by surprise having only known Spike Jonze from Jackass movies. I was worried that they would destroy one of my favourite books when I was a kid. However, Jonze managed to take the short and sweet story and make it into a beautiful masterpiece. The outstanding scenes alone are a reason to see this movie.
Max Records also manages to play the part of Max brilliantly for one so young. He brings a vigor to the character and its easy to relate with the young boy who is learning the hard truths of life. This is not a movie for young children despite the target age of the book. There are some scenes which even I found slightly disturbing and there are many stories of children crying during the movie.
As for the DVD itself, it arrived a little squashed but otherwise perfectly fine and earlier than expected.
