Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

If you want Home Alone or Parenthood (1989) this isn't it. It's a cute movie wrapping a day of Murphy's Law into 124 minutes. It's honestly cute and if you like Diary of a Wimpy Kid (the original), you'll appreciate this. It's quick moving, but the acting of Jennifer Garner, Steve Carell make it work, and the young kids make it into a cute movie that will get some laughs.

In 2018 you don't find many non-Oscar, non-Comic book, non-horror, non-R rated comedy movies, so for the few you get that actually aren't trainwrecks (ya know, like Father Figures), enjoy the few examples we have like this that just let you get a few goofy laughs and appreciate it for being just that.

As a guy i remember being a 12 year old boy vividly. I never had siblings, but as someone who has memories of being 12, i appreciate this for what it is, and that's really all you should do and not over-think it

Good movie. The reason I'd give this a 7 out of ten is because at the beginning it was ok nothing happening that much much but in the end all the drama came into it. There's a valuable lesson in this about that bad days can turn into good days

There's not really a lot that needs to be said about this movie. It is just a lot of fun and both kids and adults will find plenty to make them chuckle. There's plenty of 'slapstick' humor for the kids but it's all done so cleverly that adults will enjoy this movie just as much. An excellent cast of savvy adults and precocious kids work well together to portray a family that anyone would love to be a part of. The things that happen to them to make this, at first glance, one of the worst days ever will bring a smile to your face. It only goes for 81 minutes too, so littlies won't get bored and it doesn't overstay its welcome. See it.

One, I never watch comedies for plot or message. I'm sure all of them have something to say, but please, for the love of God, if you want to produce a comedy, focus on the comedy. I still laugh at dramas and action movies but their label is still not primarily comedy.

This is silly comedy and still better than most comedies that focus exclusively on sex and gross jokes just so they can look mature and smart. There are unfortunately not a lot of comedies like this one. It may be for kids but I did enjoy it a lot on my own, too.

You should relax more before watching a comedy. If you've ever watched a family comedy before, you'll enjoy this too.

This is a nice film to watch with the family. Funny moments follow one after the other, and the message is simple - we all have sh** to deal with but family is the most important component in our lives. Recommended viewing.
