Review of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (2014) by Cattera Y — 04 Oct 2015
This is a cool movie. I watched it with the kids. The only problem I had with it is: I never got the feeling that Steve Carrel's "Ben" wouldn't get the job. All of the "bad" things happening with his job interview were actually cool things - even while they were happening.
All the stuff going on with Jennifer Garner's Kelly is wacky, but not really dramatic or threatening. Only the kids have bad days. Dylan Minnette's Anthony gets the brunt of it. Kerris Dorsey's Emily is wacky - pretty much like the whole movie.
It's light and fluffy. Not scary or dangerous...and not nearly as "terrible, horrible, no good, very bad" as it could be - and that's both good...and bad.
