His brother has a perfect life with girlfriend and will run up to the driver's license and her sister has got the role in Peter Pan play at school. He comes to school and learns that Phillip Parker is having a party not birthday on Alexander's birthday, everyone will go to his party. Alexander set fire to "Crush" his lab book. He ran after day with more and more bad luck. The next day was the his birthday, his desire that everyone in the family got to know how his day was every day. Alexander has an absolutely perfect day. Phillip Parker has gotten chickenpox and his party is canceled. While Alexander has an absolutely perfect day has everyone else in the family an absolutely terrible no good no good very bad day. Mora nearly lost your job, dad's interview did not go well, Baby Trevor ate a pen, her sister is very ill and his brother crashed the car and did not pass a driver's license test. They go to the doctor and get cough syrup to Emily, but Emily drinking everything gets much cough syrup and becomes "High" before the play. She crashes the whole scene and the whole spectacle was ruined!no job and was promoted to vice president of the company. His father got a interview at a Japanese restaurant, the interview is going very well. He managed to get 10 shrimp in a row in the mouth while a cook tossed shrimp on him, but he is set on fire .. He was a fierce pirate! He got the job because the game designers thought he was cool and had good ideas on a Space simulator game.So, it comes to Alexander's birthday ... It was an alligator in the house! Parent had rented in a whole Australian zoo in the garden. Alexander loves Australia, throughout his room is covered by Australian souvenirs. The party was fighting well, there were many cubs basis of the school and the whole class to Alexander arrived at the party but, they had rented 3 "Cowboys" to the party which was actually male strippers, "Cowboys" understood that it was a children's party they had been hired in to. Therefore, they began to dance with back flips and cool tricks to the children who watched.Environment The environment in the film is very sunny, they spend much of the color green. The film seems to be filmed in the USA with typical yellow school buses and chemistry labs. The action takes place most at school, at home, on the street and at work. It's very calm atmosphere and environment in the film. Means and camera The film seems to be in the present (2014) they use modern technology to daily use for example phone and PC. There is much joy between families and friends, expected since it is a children / family film. Alexander's values ​​are family and friends. The protagonists have no form of special development. No one who was naughty or nice that was good or bad. Film is told by Alexander with narration through film. There was tension curve when the family got unlucky, and highlight when the family gathered and tried to resist bad luck The film will be shown at eye level / normal perspective, comrade moved very smooth.Vi see people in a half-close and close image, we see the environment in the light of people who are focused on. The edited movie to a leisurely pace. The cliffs sometimes between people, and shows the drive sometimes. Tuning of the film is quite kid-friendly, widely used bright colors and quiet sound. The film has a varied pace, started quietly and walked faster when Alexander wanted the family bad luck that birthday wish. I think the movie is trying to tell us that some days are just too poor to try to fix. And that Man should be happy in family and friends. I think the morale of the film is that one should not wish bad things over his family, and that some days are just too bad to fix. The film is suitable for teenagers, they had some jokes / scenes that were a little inappropriate for children under 12 years. Eg. That Emily was "High", male strippers. Without those, it had been a clear 7-9 year age limit. Self-assessment Would recommend it to family and friends to watch the . It's a good movie to watch if you are bored. It shows what the family can achieve if they just stand together. Seems movie was pretty good, was somewhat inappropriate jokes and scenes in the film. There are many funny scenes where the family has unimaginable bad luck Otherwise it was a good film with humorous scenes and a good end where the family gets together and have a good day. I therefore I think this movie deserves a 6/10
Shopaholic35 Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is your typical feel-good family comedy that hopes to teach you a few life lessons along the way.The plot is simple but sufficient enough to entertain. It wasn't a great movie but it has it's funny moments as well as the touching ones. It doesn't go too deep but if you watch it with the family you may just walk away with something.It slightly verges on too unrealistic in parts; how can you have five important events all in one day, but you can tell it's not mean't to be taken too seriously. Keep your expectations reasonable and you might just enjoy the movie.
backflipboy I went into watching this movie at home after a long day at work and someone annoying me in a text message so I was looking for something to distract me. This was the perfect movie for this.Is there a story in this movie? Well, yes there is but it isn't the story that the title refers to. It's a different take.Were there any breakout belly laughs in this movie? Not really. There were a few chuckles and giggles here and there, but I am not exactly the target demographic. If you are anywhere between the ages of 8 - 12, you will really find this movie funny.This is the kind of movie you would watch if you have had a bad day and you don't want to think too hard. The talents of Steve Carell and Jennifer Garner are probably wasted but they probably enjoyed the work.This is Disney living up to its reputation as a family friendly company but saying that, it really isn't a horrible movie.
moviefanatic5701 One thing I definitely wasn't expecting to do during Alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day, was laugh. It's nowhere near a perfect comedy, but is still very enjoyable. Watching the trailer for this movie all I was thinking was 1. Another bomb for Steve Carell (who can be laugh out loud hilarious) and 2. I want to barf right now. I mean this movie just looked so awful. For the kind of movie this is, a 62% on rotten tomatoes is absolutely shocking. But you can never know how good a movie is until you watch it so I thought "what the hell, I'll give it a shot".So basically, Alexander (I'm not saying the whole title) is about a kid who is about a kid who can never seem to have an actually decent day. We get a day in the life of him in the first 15 or 20 min of the film and yeah...his life totally sucks. His family seems to have great things going for themselves, his mom works happily in the book industry, his sister is the best stage actress in her school, his older brother is dating a hot chick and about to get his driver's license, and his father and his baby brother really don't do anything at all. The next day is Alexander's birthday and nobody from his school is coming because they're all going to some cool kid's party. That night at midnight, Alexander makes a wish that his family knew what a totally awful day is like. Of course, the wish comes true, and we get to see Alexander have a great day while his family has a god awful day. It's a pretty stupid concept. I can't say it's executed perfectly, but for the kind of film it is the filmmakers execute it well. It's kind of hard to believe that I liked this movie. There's many laugh out loud moments and even though it has some Hollywood moments, it's not consistent. I've seen some family films these days that try and fail to put in some mild jokes that push the PG rating. In this, they do that perfectly because they're not too profound adult jokes. Overall, Alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day mostly avoids the Hollywood territory. It's not a fabulous comedy by any means, but you'll get a lot of laughs.
