A) Donald Glover! Jennifer Coolidge! And according to IMDb, Burn Gorman and Megan Mullally, too!
B) It looks like funny-if-generic family slapstick, and I have no doubt that I will eventually watch it when it comes to Netflix Streaming.
C) BUT WHY ON EARTH WOULD THEY SAY IT WAS BASED ON THE BOOK? BECAUSE NO.
This does look cute, but yeah, it has nothing in common with the book other than a boy named Alexander. Being a picture book (it is one of my favorites!) they would obviously have to add some stuff to it to make it a feature length film, but they could have stuck with the same family make up at least!
