Alexa, Siri, look up 'diva fit'

A new family film from Sony Pictures Animation arriving on Netflix, "The Mitchells vs. the Machines" is a hoot. An antic tale of a suburban clan staving off the robot apocalypse, it's fast enough for the kids and smart enough for the grown-ups, and if the little ones are really paying attention, it may inculcate them with a healthy distrust of modern technology and the giant corporations that control our screens. (While they're watching a movie produced by giant corporations that control our screens, but never mind.)
