Will You Be "Where the Wild Things Are"?

"Where the Wild Things Are," based on the children's book by Maurice Sendak, opens this weekend, and, according to Rotten Tomatoes, the movie has received mostly favorable reviews. "Wild Things" has seemed to generate polarizing opinions - some have loved it, while others have hated it.
Judging by the trailer (though maybe just as you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, you shouldn't judge a movie by its trailer), the movie looks stunning. In fact, the trailer makes me want to see the movie, since I was not a huge fan of the book (which sounds blasphemous, I know).
To me, though, there's a bigger question: Will kids get it, or will it resonate more with adults?
