Although the movie is based on the famous children’s book, some critics were worried that the adaptation put forth by Spike Jonze would not be suitable for kids.

When the movie came out, it was met with mostly positive reviews.

Still, it only gained $100 million at the box office while spending the same amount to produce the movie.
