Reviews for the Where the Wild Things Are movie began coming in just prior to the film's October 16, 2009, release. The Spike Jonze adaptation of the popular 1963 Maurice Sendak children's book drew largely favorable reviews from several major publications, including The New York Times, USA Today and Entertainment Weekly. Other notable critics, including Roger Ebert, were a bit more tentative. Ebert gave the film three out of four stars, but took issue with the movie's length.http://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/wherethewildthingsare http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20091014/REVIEWS/910149993

Reviews
"With Where the Wild Things Are he (Spike Jonze) has made a work of art that stands up to its source and, in some instances, surpasses it."—The New York Timeshttp://movies.nytimes.com/2009/10/16/movies/16where.html?ref=movies
"...a Wizard of Oz for the dysfunctional-family era."—LA Weeklyhttp://www.laweekly.com/2009-10-15/film-tv/beasty-boy/
"Spike Jonze's sharp instincts and vibrant visual style can't quite compensate for the lack of narrative eventfulness that increasingly bogs down this bright-minded picture."—Varietyhttp://www.variety.com/review/VE1117941353.html?categoryid=31&cs=1
"...the film will play better for older audiences remembering a much-loved book from childhood, and not as well with kids who have been trained on slam-bam action animation."—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Timeshttp://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20091014/REVIEWS/910149993
