Spike Jonze took a masterpiece, and made it in to a masterpiece. I
just took my kids to see the Spike Jonze/Dave Eggers adaptation of the
timeless Maurice Richard… Damn, I knew I was going to do that! Maurice SENDAK book, “Where the Wild Things Are”. It’s always a risk to take something that people have such strong attachments to, and change it in ANY way. This adaptation was obviously done with love, respect, admiration, and a genuine sense of fun, and imagination. I recommend it to anybody who likes things that are fun.
