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

Python Hyena Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (2014): Dir: Miguel Arteta / Cast: Steve Carell, Jennifer Garner, Ed Oxenbould, Dylan Minnette, Kerris Dorsey: Idiotic family film about the trials of daily family living, and the reality that as bad as one's day is going, others are likely struggling as well. Steve Carell plays out of work stay at home dad who applies for a video game programming job. Jennifer Garner as his wife is about to release a book that has a typo that affects reactions when Dick Van Dyke is set to read it for the public. Dylan Minnette is oldest kid who fails his driving test, and is dating the biggest stuck up snot of the year. Kerris Dorsey plays middle child who is up for playing Peter Pan in the school play but comes down with allergies. Finally we have the Australia loving Ed Oxenbould as Alexander whose life is constantly in shambles until he makes a late night birthday wish that results in everyone else having a shitty day. Director Miguel Arteta previously made a much better comedy called Youth in Revolt. This film is pure garbage with your standard over the top family idiocy. For something aimed at families, it sure features a lot of naked baby ass. We also get Garner verbalizing the word "penis" just to educate kids early. Finally, we have a poorly effected runaway kangaroo that is about as fake as a stuffed toy. The cast struggle to make these annoying characters likable and fail miserably with each reeking scene. The message regards a functioning family unit. The result is a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad film. Score: 3 / 10

neiljones1981 This film with the overlong title came presented to me on Sky Demand. I have yet to find out why.The film's basic premise is: Kid has bad days, wishes for everybody else in the family to have a bad day instead. So they do. Kid then realises how stupid he was to request such a thing (or has a guilt trip, whichever floats your boat) and tries to make it up. He ends up having a birthday party, the same one he had to cancel earlier because it clashed with somebody else's.This is the sort of film you'd expect to see straight to air on the Disney Channel. Surprised to learn it had a budget of $28million overall, as it clearly wasn't spent on the writing or the cast.The jokes are predictable, you can see them coming (especially the one with the cough syrup) and while there are a handful of good ideas here, they are far and between and underdeveloped when they do appear.Pleasant as it was to see Dick Van Dyke, and the presence of old school music (primarily 4 Non Blondes and INXS) on the soundtrack, it wasn't enough to make up for a typical Disney fodder pushing PG-13 standards crying out for a better script.It's not the worst movie ever made. I've seen far far worse and far far better.

chow913 When I heard Disney was turning a 20 page children's book into a 90 minute film starring Steve Carell and Jennifer Garner I knew this was the beginning of a terrible horrible no good very bad movie."I've seen the penis of everyone in this car." This is what Disney tries to pass off as entertainment.$28,000,000! $28,000,000! That's what this movie cost! Note that James Cameron only had $18,000,000 to make 'Aliens' more than half of which went to Sigourney Weaver's salary. There aren't any special FX, stunts, spaceships, or aliens in this film! I can only conclude they spent it on catering for the cast and crew.Alexander's terrible horrible no good very bad day begins with him fall out of bed and reading an email on his laptop about a friend's party. I must confess, it's been several years since I read the book but I don't recall that scene.Next Alexander arrives at school where a classmate texts the entire school and embarrassing photo of Alexander. Again, I don't recall this scene in the book either.After Alexander's day, which isn't really that bad, he wishes for his family to all have terrible day as well. So the actual "comedy" in this film doesn't even begin until 45 minutes in and doesn't even revolve around Alexander. It revolves around his family getting into the usual movie troupes we all expect, like alarm clocks failing to go off, and babies peeing everywhere. Because bodily fluids are funny? Not even 'Married With Children' made jokes like these.When the mother accidentally walks in on Alexander's older brother in the bathroom she declares, "It's okay, I've seen your penis before. I've seen the penis of everyone in this car." Ha ha ha. That line isn't for the family nor is it entertaining.But the first grade toilet humor has only begun its root canal of pain! Next Jennifer Gardner learns from her publisher that the word "jump" was printed as "dump" in a new children's book. Garner rushes to stop Dick Van Dyke from reading the book to a group of children. Ha ha ha. Jerry Van Dyke may have been in 'My Mother the Car' but Dick bares far more shame for appearing in a scene like this.The other jokes are obvious a mile away. For example, the teenage daughter is sick and takes cold medication so she can perform in the school play. Will she get high off the medication and go crazy on stage? What a shock, she gets high off the medication and goes crazy on stage. That joke was obvious to the audience 30 minutes earlier when she first said she was sick and had to perform in the school play. It's just taken the movie 30 minutes to catch up with the audience.Another example is how Steve Carell has no one to baby sit during his job interview. Will he bring the baby and will it spew bodily fluids everywhere? If you saw 'Mr. Mom' then you saw this joke coming 31 years ago! So in conclusion this movie uses none of the original source material for why Alexander's day was so bad and instead turns out to NOT be about Alexander at all. It's about his family going through all the Disney movie troupes.It's devoid of any entertainment value. It doesn't even work as a family film due to the toilet humor I've mentioned.
