ALEXANDER AND THE TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD DAY

(2014) 81 Minutes, Rated PG

Mike's Review: Not to mush to say on this movie...It was just an entertaining movie that was fun to watch.  It had a cute story and the the actors and actresses fit their roles well.  I even laughed out loud a few times.  This movie kind of reminded me just a little bit of Home Alone mixed with A Diary of a Wimpy Kid. 

Best Scene:  There were some cute scenes, but I liked the job interview dinner and the book reading scenes the best.

Mike's Rating: Worth the price of the Ticket.

Bean's Review: Cute, light-hearted family movie.  Alexander is an 11 year old boy who experiences very bad days, whilst his family members seem to enjoy idyllic days.  However, on his birthday, the tables are turned.  Steve Carell portrays a very caring father who is looking for a job, and his wife portrayed by Jennifer Garner has too much of a job.  The cast did a good job and there were some fairly funny scenes.

  

Overall, a good-feel movie.

Best scene: when the oldest son, played by Dylan Minnette, cast his prom date aside for his family

Bean’s rating:  DVD - I typically do not pay to see many family type movies
