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

It's funny, fast, and charming.

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

I found it genuinely adorable and entertaining.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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... 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.

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.
