I mentioned yesterday that my daughter, who is nine, went to see Where the Wild Things Are with a friend’s birthday party.  I picked her up from the party, thinking that she had a great time and loved the movie, wrong!  My daughter thought the movie was scary and cried in the car as we drove home from the party.  I thought, “Did she see Paranormal Activity instead?”  No, Wild Things was scary to my daughter. She mentioned one scene where Carol tears off one of the wild things’ arm; it scared her. 

I am only mentioning this because perhaps Wild Things is more of a boy movie.
