There is no definition of "mummy" offered in the film - in fact, many characters (especially Jonathon) use the term for almost every creature.
The son is OK, per se, at his role (mainly that he is the spitting image of Brendan Fraser) and he's OK in the acting department - the problem is, (due to his rugged leading-man looks) onscreen he looks like he's 23 going on 35.
This puts a lot of pressure on the casting of Evie, for her to be attractive enough so that Brendan and her are still a good-looking couple.
This leads to a pretty ridiculous scene between Mom and son (in the Himalayan camp) where Evie and Alex really look similar in age enough that they could be a couple.
But Alex wasn't annoying, like he was in Mummy Returns. In that film, his repeated uppityness and actions was a constant slap in the face to the viewer.
Here in Mummy 4, I was more annoyed by Rick's repeated incongruous disbelief that a enchanted knife would kill the Emperor.
Yeah, like Rick would have a hard time believing that, after everything he's seen and done.
