Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
One day can change everything.
Directed by Miguel Arteta
Produced by Walt Disney Pictures, 21 Laps Entertainment
A lighthearted family comedy that finds humor in everyday mishaps while ultimately affirming that bad days happen to everyone and bring families closer together.
Alexander's day begins with gum stuck in his hair, followed by more calamities. Though he finds little sympathy from his family and begins to wonder if bad things only happen to him, his mom, dad, brother, and sister all find themselves living through their own terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
