seriously, is it so good?
seems there is no story to me

Considering it had to work with a kids book that was little more than 13 pages or more it did really well.

Deal with it !

Plot does not equal story & story does not equal plot. Sorry he doesn't explain that to you, but he's just such a nice person he won't say it to your face. I however, am not.

Well, it's not really an offensive thing to say or anything...

It's one of those movies that doesn't need a complex story to tell a story. Besides, the book wasn't complex. Why make the movie complex?

Death Star made of tooth picks, hahahah, well done.

nice

Well done, Bum! Kinda made me want to see the movie. xD

gut moveh

I see that the movie hits a little too close to home for the bum.

completely agree with your final thoughts.

Who makes a feature lentght movie about an 8 sentence book, anyway?

The people who made Jumanji.

And the people who made "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs," which by the way, wasn't bad. At all. Kinda sad that the bum didn't review it.

I love it, as always. Wonderful.

lol

Best ever advice from the bum..."deal with it!!!" I never read the childrens book, but this makes me curious to learn more about the movie. Wild review Mr. Bum :P

Loved the book, looks like i could also enjoy the movie.

loved it! though i guess coming up and hugging the monster when it is about to attack you also would be a good moral

I agree. I remember deciding (when I was a kid and was scared that a monster would jump at me from under the bed or something) that if I ever would see a monster, then it'd be sort of prejudiced of me to assume that it's evil just because it's ugly, and it's probably lonely anyway, living under my bed all by itself. Ergo, the nice thing to do would just be to hug it.

(I never read this book, by the way, so that was a completely original trail of thought in my childish little mind.)

This movie was definitely brilliant. It was a little plotless, but what it gave up with that it more than made up for in its essentially reimagining the book as a character study of Max.

And LMAO to making the Death Star with toothpicks. Great review; I hope you have more on the way!

Yay! Doug approves! I'm gonna see it now!

this movie confuses me. Love the review though :D

i actually think this movie'll be awesome

I need to see this movie

Thanks Bum, I'm gonna see the movie now.

and this movie has one of the most mellow reactions to dismemberment I've ever seen. I really enjoyed it, too.

Chester, I'm glad that you liked it. I'm a little scared to see it as I grew up with the book, but I value your opinion.

Chester, which tasted better to you: green eggs and ham, Cookie Crisp, or President Obama's neck?

JUST DEAL WITH IT! :woohoo:

Awesome review, good job!

...I wanna go eat Cookie Crisp now.

Why do I get the feeling that this review is 100x better than the actual movie "Where The Wild Things Are"? At least the Bum isn't pretentious and overrated.

Still, despite the fact that I hate this movie, good work. The Bum Reviews are how I first found this site, so it's nice to see them more frequently nowadays. How do you manage all these videos and still make them consistently funny?

This was my favorite book when I was a kid.

I saw the movie today and it was good. It WAS a little awkward at times, but it captured the feeling of the book PERFECTLY.
:)

HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!
YES THIS MOVIE WAS BEAUTIFUL

WOW! This was something I requested! And a good review at that! HOORAY!

"I could show you where the wild things really are, just make sure the cops aren't around" LMAO

I felt the same way...I like how you do the spoilers warning now, did Douchy McNitpic start complaining to the bum too?

but really at the end of the movie i was like "what kind of stupid moral is that?"

one of the only bum reviews with a moral :dry: :dry: :dry: :dry:

Great review Doug! And I might add, your review was way better than the movie.

But judging from the movie itself, that may not be saying much. Still, that aside. Your review was hilarious.
