Alexander and the Very Good No Bad Very Bad Day…

… doesn’t seem like it would work expanded to 80 minutes.  I suppose they’ve fleshed out a trope of a family of “lucky” people for the no-luck Alexander to clash in, but…

… my 3rd grade teacher read this book relentlessly to us.  (Kind of became wearying).  I don’t think she would like the movie.  (Apparently there’s a kangeroo in it, homage to his always wishing to go to Australia.)

I may as well note someone recently search engined “Amelia Bedelia” and my problems with her — like the problem people had with Alanis Morrisette’s “Ironic” song, but compounded due to them being validated by an unquestioned authority.  If they make a children’s movie out of that one, will they make the due correction?  (Harder to stretch that to 80 minutes, though.)
