Ever have one of those days when you think that life just can’t possibly get any worse? I’ve definitely had a few doozies in my day. But then I see the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day that the Cooper family has in ALEXANDER and the TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD DAY and realize my terrible days could have been so much worse—and hope that my own family of 6 never experiences a day quite as bad as the day the Coopers have.
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is based on the 1972 children’s classic book by Judith Viorst. 11-year-old Alexander Cooper is sick of having all of the bad days when his family’s days are always so good. At midnight on his 12th birthday, he makes a wish, cursing his family so that just once they will experience the same kind of bad days that he always has. It seems Alexander gets his wish when the next day is quite possibly the worst day the entire Cooper family has ever experienced. But no matter how bad the day gets, the family sticks together to support one another throughout the mishaps. From car wrecks to fires and school play disasters to job snafus, this movie will keep you laughing with your whole family.
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is an excellent family movie. All of my kids loved it and laughed out loud during the whole movie. They’ve been reciting lines for days now since we screened the movie. Very Bad Day is great for all ages. There is situational comedy that applies to everyone from ages 2 and up. kids, tweens, teens, and adults.
