Introduction"Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" is a 2014 funny movie directed by Miguel Arteta. The screenplay was composed by Rob Lieber, and it is based on Judith Viorst's 1972 kids's book of the very same name. The movie includes Steve Carell and Jennifer Garner as the parents of Alexander, played by Ed Oxenbould, who lives a day filled with mishaps and catastrophes.
Plot OverviewThe story revolves around Alexander Cooper, an 11-year-old boy who experiences a disastrous day. Beginning with accidentally igniting his crush's notebook to having a mistake at the household photoshoot, followed by an embarrassing incident at school, Alexander can't appear to capture a break. It is Alexander's birthday, but it feels eclipsed by his older brother Anthony's senior prom and his sis Emily's play. Feeling overlooked and annoyed, Alexander makes a birthday wish for his household to experience a bad day just like him.
Devastating Day Gets SpreadSurprisingly, his desire comes true. The Cooper family goes through a series of regrettable events that evaluate their love and durability. The catastrophe strikes Anthony (Dylan Minnette) as he wakes up with an inflamed face on his senior prom day. Emily (Kerris Dorsey) captures a cold right before her Peter Pan play. The moms and dads aren't spared either, as Ben (Steve Carell) works interview, and Kelly (Jennifer Garner) deals with a crisis at work when misprinted books get dispersed at her job in a publishing firm.
Taking full advantage of MisfortuneThe incidents continue to intensify. Ben practically sets his potential employer's laboratory on fire during his task interview, while Kelly has a hard time to handle a star book reading session starring Dick Van Dyke, accidentally turning it into an utter mess. Emily has a hard time to carry out in her play due to her sickness, Anthony's senior prom night ends in a catastrophe, and their infant brother, Trevor, unintentionally consumes a green marker.
Household Unity and ResolutionIn the face of hardship, rather of breaking down, the household comes together and supports each other. They recognize that bad days take place to everyone and the most essential thing is how they face it together as a family. Understanding Alexander's sensations, they move their focus from their individual issues and offer him the birthday event he deserves.
ConclusionThe movie is a heartwarming household funny that worries the importance of unity, understanding, and shared support within the family, no matter the extent of the catastrophe. "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" uses situational humor and slapstick funny to illustrate a day of disasters that provides its characters an opportunity to grow, bond, and comprehend each other. With its engaging storytelling and excellent efficiencies, it provides both laughter and heart-touching household minutes.
