Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
ComedyDramaFamilyFantasy81 min
Ed Oxenbould is Alexander, an 11-year-old whose morning starts with gum in his hair and keeps sliding into one small disaster after another. When his upbeat family brushes off his complaints, his parents — Jennifer Garner’s tightly scheduled Kelly and Steve Carell’s easygoing Ben — end up watching their own plans unravel. As school events, a job interview, and family milestones all start going sideways, Alexander’s private streak of bad luck turns into a household chain reaction, with each member of the Cooper family getting a version of a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
