My friend and I ...I am with you Kim...way too dark. My friend and I took our young children (7-11) and were gasping during the whole movie and questioning our parenting decision. The part that was really disturbing to us was the stick arm used to replace the arm that was ripped off. Yikes! I don't remember that part of the book....Over Coffee - the green editionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17845697727568004739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704325586983583256.post-63114692532026588062009-11-17T21:11:37.119-08:002009-11-17T21:11:37.119-08:00"My son loved it.

I mean, they're giant MONSTERS, after all! :)<br /><br />And because the director is Spike Jonez, I knew to expect quirky introspection. And that's exactly what I got.<br /><br />So I'll agree that the movie is only like the book in appearance alone. But because the kids who've read this are mostly all grown up now, I guess the film had to reflect more mature themes. That's my take.David Batistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447011239238933425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704325586983583256.post-10275171600107397022009-11-16T12:28:33.200-08:002009-11-16T12:28:33.200-08:00I don't think I've heard of that one.
