Last night we ventured out to go watch “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day” and loved it! The combination of characters and plot was perfect for my family to watch.
Disney’s “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day”follows the exploits of 11-year-old Alexander (Ed Oxenbould) as he experiences the most terrible and horrible day of his young life—a day that begins with gum stuck in his hair, followed by one calamity after another. But when Alexander tells his upbeat family about the misadventures of his disastrous day, he finds little sympathy and begins to wonder if bad things only happen to him. He soon learns that he’s not alone when his mom (Jennifer Garner), dad (Steve Carell), brother (Dylan Minnette) and sister (Kerris Dorsey) all find themselves living through their own terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Anyone who says there is no such thing as a bad day just hasn’t had one. “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day,” directed by Independent Spirit Award-winner Miguel Arteta (“The Good Girl,” “Cedar Rapids,” “Youth in Revolt”) from a screenplay by Rob Lieber, is a 21 Laps Entertainment/Jim Henson Company production. The film hits theaters nationwide Oct. 10, 2014.
Meet the Cast of Alexander and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day
Anthony Cooper
Alexander’s big brother, is a “total winner” in the eyes of just about everyone. The successful teen pretty much has it made in life—just ask him—till his bad day strikes and his reflection reveals what may be his first zit ever. His perfect life continues to unravel—highlighted by a driving test that doesn’t really go as planned.
Emily Cooper
Alexander’s sister, is an aspiring actress who’s looking forward to her debut as Peter Pan in the school play. But the biggest day of her middle school life is threatened by a horrible cold, so she turns to cough medicine—again and again and again. Flying while on cough syrup is definitely not recommended.
Ben Cooper
Unemployed for seven months, is an upbeat stay-at-home dad hoping to rejoin the ranks of the employed. But his huge job interview goes awry when the babysitter falls through and he’s forced to bring baby Trevor with him—and that’s just the beginning of his own very bad day. A die-hard optimist, Ben finds his sunny disposition pushed to the limit.
Kelly Cooper
Super mom, is a force of nature. Shouldering the breadwinning duties for the family, she secretly craves more time with her family. She starts her terrible day behind schedule, which is just the beginning of a host of missteps, culminating in a desperate attempt to battle a potentially career-ending publishing blunder.
Baby Trevor Cooper
Even suffers a bad day—no Cooper is spared—when his beloved bumblebee pacifier is unwittingly destroyed. Trevor finds little solace in a green marker, despite valiant efforts.
Alexander Cooper
an 11-year-old who experiences the most terrible and horrible day of his young life—a day that begins with gum stuck in his hair, followed by one calamity after another. But when Alexander tells his upbeat family about the misadventures of his disastrous day, he finds little sympathy and begins to wonder if bad things only happen to him.
