Alexander And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Alexander endures a hilariously terrible day in this Disney comedy. Anyone who says there is no such thing as a bad day just hasn't had one. Alexander experiences the most terrible and horrible day of his young life-a day that begins with gum stuck in his hair, followed by one calamity after another.

And while the problems had are sadly very white and upper class ones, the message is still relevant. It's also rather funny-at times.

I found it genuinely adorable and entertaining.

This is where the comedy comes from: that lurking fear that even the most routine of daily domestic tasks is just a spilled coffee cup away from disaster.

Alexander is funnier than one would expect. In a weird way, it's full of refreshingly cranky, dorky goofing.

It's the rare, current kid movie made with real actors. Unfortunately, it's not remotely adult-funny. That's OK. Parents suffer. It's what they do. Go and suffer for the kids.

Alexander... etc. isn't exactly a terrible film, but it was definitely in need of a little retooling so that the events plaguing this family weren't quite so unbelievable, annoying, and on the lower end of the comic scale.

It's funny, fast, and charming.

The film may be a good way to distract kids for an hour and 20 minutes, but are any of its messages appropriate?

"Alexander" won't change your day, but it's not terrible, horrible, no good or very bad, either.

Arteta keeps the action speeding along while eliciting spot-on performances. Carell is at his discombobulated best, and Garner anchors the proceedings with aplomb.

Like the source material, this is one terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day that families just might find themselves revisiting often.

There are a couple of scenes that fall flat, losing the manic push of the rest of the story, but the mood is so screwball that the film hurtles past its own mistakes. It's good fun.
