Watch Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day For Free

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

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.

Well I only watched this movie because Steve Carell was in it and so I thought it might be funny. But then again it's a family movie and it's from Disney. So I had my doubts. And my doubts came true, it's not a funny movie. I didn't laugh once. Not once in the entire movie, and let's be honest, that's not a good sign when it is supposed to be a comedy. I guess if I was 8 years old I might have liked it then, but I'm not. If you have kids and want them to shut up for a couple hours I guess you can plant them in front of the television with this movie. They might like it. But don't bother watching it with them because it's not worth it. Enjoy your free kid time with something else you like to do.

it doesn't go to plan, things stuffup. my mix and match family and i were in the lounge doing other stuff, this came on mostly to amuse my 4 year old.we all ended up watching it to the end.there's some cringe-worthy moments, but there's also some moments that remind you why family is so important and make you feel good. the kids all wanted to stay up past their bedtime to see the end. i'm no critic, i just like a good story.this is a good story, kinda like little miss sunshine. there's some bits where you just have to have a break, cringe, hide. but after that, it's a good family show.like the others, when skippy took off and he chased him, i'm like no way are you catching him ever. however it's a movie and it's in the plot. well done i reckon. good yarn

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.
