If anyone has every had a really bad day and then looked around them and saw everyone else having an amazing day and gotten jealous. Then you have felt what Alexander has felt almost every day in Disney’s Alexander And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. This new movie released by Disney is based on the 1972 children’s classic book by Judith Viorst. It follows 11 year old Alexander and his family from the day before his 12th birthday to the day of his 12th birthday.
He is tired of being the only one to have bad days so when the clock strikes 12 on his 12th birthday he makes a wish that everyone could feel like he does for a change. The next day takes a surprising turn of events and he begins to wonder if his wish really came true. The movie is full of laughs and family moments. Any busy parent will understand how it feels when there isn’t a diaper in site and everyone has overslept. The day does not get any better and as frustrations build and problems mount, we see the family start to lose their sanity. Will they last the day or break up trying to make it thru? Who will have the last laugh the day or them? Find out when you watch Alexander And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.
The movie promised more than I expected and had a little more depth to the film instead of just laughs. There is some adult language and suggestive text that may be of concern for some parents of children. I do believe that is the reason the movie is rated PG. I do feel that Alexander And The
Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is a wonderful family movie and if you can get to the theater to see it than by all means go but you won’t be missing out also if you wait for it to come out on DVD.
Alexander And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is released in theaters today, October 10, 2014.
