Storyline:
The story follows the exploits of
11-year-old Alexander (Ed Oxenbould) as he experiences the most terrible and
horrible day of his young life-a day that begins with gum stuck in his hair,
followed by one calamity after another. But when Alexander tells his upbeat
family about the misadventures of his disastrous day, he finds little sympathy
and begins to wonder if bad things only happen to him. He soon learns that he's
not alone when his mom (Jennifer Garner), dad (Steve Carell), brother (Dylan
Minnette) and sister (Kerris Dorsey) all find themselves living through their own
terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Anyone who says there is no such
thing as a bad day just hasn't had one.
Beginning to the end it is a
painfully hilarious story that narrates a simple day to day life and how things
can go wrong. It reveals the characteristics of highly positive minded family
members who only see the best in everything opposite to Alexander who finds
every day is a struggle. To make things worse his family ignores the
difficulties he goes through.
Alexander and the Terrible,
Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is a pleasant comedy that is in its simplest
form. There is so much of humour derived from the day today shenanigans
throughout this 80 minute movie. Though it focuses on the entertaining aspect
of this family drama it does brings out the good morals a family should uphold.
The father’s character by Steve Carrell
is really charming as he brings in his usual charismatic personality. His
character is amazingly optimistic putting even our best days into shame. Even
during his worst day his presentation of frustration is just too good.
Alexander and the Terrible,
Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is a family movie that everyone can have a
great entertaining time together. Thanks to Nuffnag for providing the chance to catch up the premiere screening.
