The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

I watched with my nieces, we really enjoyed the film and discuss it after. Alexander was a character that represents so many kids in big busy families. I think the title spoiled the movie but it still great film with crazy and funny scenes, there's no twist or unexpected development in the story. The moral of the story is to always keep trying and never give up. The movie teach children that we all have bad days we should accept it it may help us to love and appreciate the good ones.

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

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.

It's nice to see a family comedy that does great at the box office! It's not so nice to see such a low rating here on IMDb. I think that this film successfully treads a fine line between portraying the vicissitudes of life and a bit of humor. Yes, you could look at things superficially and just see funny/disastrous things happening to a family. Or, you can look just a little deeper and see how everyday life can weigh our spirits down...if we let them...and sometimes it's hard not to.Ed Oxenbould, as the principal child in the cast (age 12) does nicely, although I can't see him becoming a very successful child star; he's struggling with entering puberty and feeling ignored by his family. Steve Carell handles the role of the father with aplomb; the father is out of work and trying to land a software job. Jennifer Garner, as the mother, also handles things well; she is having her own challenges on the work front. Dylan Minnette is appropriately cool as the older brother; he's having issues with his girlfriend. Kerris Dorsey is clearly talented as the older sister; she may or may not be the next Peter Pan in her school play. Each member of the family is struggling coping with everyday life.In terms of supporting cast, it's worth mentioning Megan Mullally playing her usual -itchy attitude as the mother's boss. It's also nice to see Dick VanDyke in a cameo role.The big mystery here to me is Donald Glover as the lead of a software company where the father is attempting to land a job. I have yet to figure out who Donald Glover is...as a person. And from what I read, he hasn't figured himself out either. There seems to me to be no pattern to his career; unfortunately, it seems as if his career is based on his "cuteness"...despite the fact that he is clearly extremely talented. It'll be interesting to see where he ultimately lands.The problem is this film is that -- despite what we may wish -- everyone can't always find a happy ending...particularly at virtually the same time. There's one good lesson for kids here -- to some extent what we make of a day (or life) is up to us. But there's a bad lesson here, too -- despite the film, life doesn't always have happy endings.It's entertaining, it's fun, and it can be thought provoking if you get beyond looking at it superficially.
