Majorthebys Charming and brutal

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

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.
