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

It's funny, fast, and charming.
Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture
Fresh
Arteta keeps the action speeding along while eliciting spot-on performances. Carell is at his discombobulated best, and Garner anchors the proceedings with aplomb.
Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

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.
Geoff Pevere, Globe and Mail

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