I didn't "get anything out of it". Don't let my opinions dissapoint everyone though, I just thought I'd share them since we watched the movie. Looking forward to seeing if it's just me or others feel the same. Even if it were for adults and NOT kids, it bored me as well. I didn’t “get anything out of it”.

It's aimed at adults to remind them what it was like to be a child and have that unfettered imagination. So yes, I'm wondering how this is going to do over the next couple of weeks. Vic @mandy

I was not at all impressed and my 7 yr old daughter and 10 year old son were bored and asking to go home. I am glad my money was only wasted on popcorn and soda as out tickets were free.

I recommend you, and everyone else, give the podcast a try as it is one of the best out there. Corolla's rants and opinions are really commonsensical, something that is being lost in US and especially in CA and Los Angeles. Anyway, did not mean to get off subject. I have come to trust Spike Jonze as a director. I'm pretty sure I'll love the movie. Stephen, actually his biggest claim to fame would be Love Line.

He tends to really surprise me, quite often, on his reviews of films. His tastes are a bit quirky. I wouldn’t give to much weight to what Harry has to say about the film.

Yes, that's exactly what I'll do, right after this monkey flies out of my ass.

It's not a "message" movie. It's a movie about childhood. It's not going to tell you anything you don't already know, deep down. But that doesn't mean it can't be fantastic in doing so.

It seems that Jonze is doing well by the book! I was so concerned that this movie may have inevitably destroyed a childhood classic, but instead, review after review is surprising me!

Hopefully I'll like it. Funny enough, I was listening to Adam Corrolla's podcast and he was completely going off on the book and how much it sucks and that the author is a complete hack.

I saw it, but didn't read it. It could have just said how you can't turn it into a film. I can't wait for this though. My favorite book as a kid. The trailer got my eyes welled up. I am going to see it this coming weekend. Sadly probably not opening night, but I will see it this weekend. I saw one bad review I think. I saw it, but didn’t read it.

The trailer alone moves me to tears. The film may end up being my favorite film made in my lifetime. I might be biased, but that's how strongly I feel about this book, now a film.
