Featured reviews
light family move
nice way to show the funny events through the movie nice casting in summary the movie have all the element of watchable good movie nothing much to say about it
A proper feel good family film
Good, clean family fun.
Simple movie for the family on a Sunday!
About the movie out of my point of view? Well, not that awesome, but you can't expect a lot of this kind of movies. Steve Carell didn't perform at his best, that is obvious, but that wasn't even necessary.
After all, this whole movie was from the point of view of Alexander. Of course they did choose to make it a little childish. I believe the acting was also based on the viewer to be around 5 - 10 years old. Some simple jokes, not a lot of jokes where to use the brain, but more of the eyes.
What are you talking about? This is hilarious
This is silly comedy and still better than most comedies that focus exclusively on sex and gross jokes just so they can look mature and smart. There are unfortunately not a lot of comedies like this one. It may be for kids but I did enjoy it a lot on my own, too.
You should relax more before watching a comedy. If you've ever watched a family comedy before, you'll enjoy this too.
