Alice in Murderland is entertaining because of the characters of the movie are reduced to characters from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Each character in the movie puts on a costume to the respective Alice in Wonderland character that they are pretending to be at the party. Because each character has the same personality as their Alice in Wonderland counter part, the characters of the movie are reduced to being someone in the Alice in Wonderland book. For example, the character named Alice plays Alice and exhibits traits of being scared, concerned about her future, and loss of personality. Tweedledum and Tweedledee are represented by Donna and Dee because they are both stupid, oblivious to the murdering Jabberwocky and do whatever they are told. Characters in the movie are no longer are themselves, but the characters from Alice in Wonderland.One character, the Jabberwocky, is intended to be a ruthless murderer, but becomes a laughing stock every time it enters the camera due to the caricature of the character. The costume which makes up the Jabberwocky is a bird like creature with a huge neck and red hair. The costume is supposed to be scary by trying to exaggerated the creatures features, such as a bird like head and a long neck. However, the rest of the costume is reduced to nothing more than a black shirt that goes to the actors feet. The clash of exaggeration of the characters head and reduction of his body causes one to find the character funny.

        Dennis Devine's attempt at plot development causes some of the scenes and the plot as a whole to be incongruent. While incongruency in a movie usually leaves the audience unhappy, Alice and Murderland's incogruency is entertaining. When Malory, the party planner is going to meet her uncle, she wants him to let her use the glass house for the party she is hosting for Alice. When running into him she see that he is having a debate with her boy friend, Andrew. The mini debate goes on for a minute talking about missing an art class and ends after Andrew tells Malory's uncle he must get a C in the class. Malory's uncle responds with “Are you... threatening me?” in a monotonic voice (Alice in Murderland). Final Malory utilizes one line to ask her uncle about the glass house before the scene ends. The scene was obviously an attempt at plot development, but it has almost nothing to do with the plot of the movie. The result is it clashes with the actual plot. The scene is out of place to such a degree that it is one of the most funny scenes of the movie. Not only do individual scenes have issues, but the plot as a whole is incongruuent. A notable moment was when Kat was talking about how her mother was the one who killed Alice's mother. Kat says her mother told her she killed Alice's mother. In the movie Alice's mother was killed when Alice was one year old. Since Kat is stated to be the same age as Alice, she would have been one year old as well at the time of the killing. It is virtually impossible for Kat to know her mother was the killer via her mother telling her because Kat mentions that her mother killed herself immediately after killing Alice's mom. Kat had no way of knowing that her mother was the killer because she was too young and her mother died before she could have told her. The inconguity between the plot is an example of Bergson's comic techniques which entertains the audience because there is a clash of ideas in the plot.
