I went with my 8 year old and 3 year old. It was more loud in the theatre then scary. Kimberly Harper I read it wasn't supposed to be for kids, but for parents who enjoyed the book as kids? But my kids are 2 and under, so we're not going anyway. Erin Poole I agree with Shari, I also brought my 7 yr old and 3 yr old, they werent scared at all, however I think it was a little too hard for them to understand the movie. Paula Borrelli Vargas We have the book, for our 5 yr old Kyle,which he loves but I think we'll pass on the movie for now! To read about monsters is one thing, but to see them on tv is totally different! lol Ana Patricia Jordao I don't think it's appropriate for little kids at all, it's actually a little depressing, even for adults. Kelly Roberts Yes. It is as if Quentin Tarrantino collaborated with Maurice Sendak. No child under 12 should go without parents previewing the entire movie prior to taking the family. *comments taken from Children’s Facebook fan page*

Can't they make a G-rated version? Do they really need wisecracks and sexual innuendos intended to go over kids' heads?
