ScreenIt T. Durgin What I will remember, especially as a parent, are the laughs and the smiles of the target audience while watching this film and then streaming out of the theater afterwards. This is based on a kids' book that has been greatly expanded. For the most part, the changes work even though little Alexander does get lost in the mix somewhat the longer the film goes on. | 12 | |
