All the positive comments (even film critics), just a repost of narratives from the description to the film, which are simply not there!
We bought the fact that the film is in all collections of kind, bright, family comedies. The film is not that.
There is no hint that the boy lacks parental attention, moreover, love and care reign in the family and only a small rotten person envies that everything goes too smoothly for his relatives. Moreover, on a bad day of the family, which begins with chaos and turmoil, parents do not forget to congratulate Alexand, and in the end it will turn out that they ordered him just a chic holiday for the DR!
It’s not about a simple plot (full of easy family movies), but that the film is evil. What's the moral of the movie? Alexander says at the end, “It takes more of these days to appreciate...” but again, there is no indication that his family did not appreciate the good things they had. Moreover, if he had not made his vile wish, everyone would have had an amazing day (and later a future that reflected on him), to which they went and deserved!
The desire to make a film good and bright is wishful thinking.
Alexander and a terrible, nightmarish, bad, very bad movie
Are there any family comedies made for kids, you ask? Oh, yes, you think that there are, accusing of debility and immorality a new interpretation of the fairy tale about Kid and Carlson, filmed by Sarik Andreasyan. Have you seen any of the American family comedies? Maybe you’ve already watched Home Alone 4 and Difficult Child 3, the previous parts of which you love, and you’ll say yes, you’ve seen it. Well, if you watched "Beethoven 4", then you are more familiar with the obscenity in the world of family comedies. I'm going to tell you about a movie that hasn't gone far from the disgusting quadriquel of a chic movie about a famous dog. The comedy with a long name attracted viewing, even when a funny trailer came out, flashing a vulgar but funny joke. Who would have thought that the whole film would be not just worse than its trailer, but absolutely stupid and three-like comedy, allegedly for family viewing.
As much as I always liked to laugh at all sorts of incidents that occur with the heroes of the movie, laughed at how on the screen someone does bad things to someone, but in this film the author of the script clearly overdid with such jokes, not being able to give at least something funny and cause the viewer at least a little bit of “hee-hee”. We were shown a full set of failures that occur first with the main character of the film, and then with his family. A loser teenager made a wish that everything would be good for him, and let failures continue to haunt his relatives who treated him with neglect, especially his older brother. Who fulfilled his wish remained incomprehensible, although usually in comedies with similar ideas there is some explanation for what is happening. In the comedy "Big" the boy turned to the evil spirit living in the prize attraction in the park, after which he became an adult; in the comedy "Freaky Friday" mother and daughter ate the "cookie of happiness", then switched bodies until they found a common language. But it’s not that important, in comedy, the main thing is humor. Maybe the little kids in the theaters laughed at the incidents that happened to all the characters of the film, but their parents, probably with stone faces, waited for it to end. Shame on Jennifer Coolidge, the star of American Pie, that she began to act in moronic films, starting with two parodies of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Zellzer, ending with this film. Perhaps due to natural aging, they are no longer invited to normal roles. Really funny was only the scene with an unsuccessful phone conversation of the older brother of the protagonist with his girlfriend, which, in fact, made me laugh in the trailer.
I wanted to put this creation 3 out of 10, but the final scenes raised my score by one point, so the finale was really positive. But he didn't correct the general flaws of this stupid comedy. Technically, the film is no different from television, except for a chic children's party near the end of the film - this is the first time I've seen it. And the abundance of positive reviews and the presence of only one negative proves the general degradation of the viewer, who does not distinguish a good film from a kind one.
4 out of 10
Beautiful, kind, bright, crazy American comedy. Most of all, I was pleased and amazed by the lack of traditional vulgarities and vulgarities, although the situations in which the main characters fell are definitely idiotic.
I didn’t like the first half very much, it was a little dry and strange, but then it dragged on, and I laughed in my voice at some moments.
The acting was delighted, Dylan Minnett was especially surprised. Jennifer Garner is amazing, as usual, Steve Carell came out quite serious, but not strict dad. The ending is filled with a morality that is useful to all ages.
Very dynamic, fervent, loud and bright. Good quality comedy.
Sometimes it seems to me that simple, horribly naive and easy family comedies can fade into oblivion. Appetites in the audience, apparently, are changing. The conveyor, more and more, churns out toilet and stupid productions, which are profitable to pass off as funny and entertaining. After all, the viewer carries his money to the box office. This means that many people are satisfied with such situations. What kind of humor am I talking about? Oh, lots of examples. Emission of gases, demonstration of genitals, and even in general, can drive naked ass in the face (in the latter, “type of cops” are meant). Here we go. Such products, why - then, most often cause me bewilderment and suspicion. What's so funny? Will it always work for the viewer? But maybe I’m a little too old and behind fashion and development. Times and mores are changing. Demand creates supply. Where to go from this. And so, having ventured to view an unpretentious, at first glance, picture with a long and frightening title, I realized that not all is lost yet.
I tell you frankly that Alexander and the Terrible, Nightmarish, Bad, Very Bad Day (I’ll be shortening the title later, or not mentioning it at all, for obvious reasons) liked me more than the same We Millers, whom I consider a highly overrated comedy product (there are some doubts about its comedy too), by any look. This movie was surprisingly exciting and funny. No one is going to ascribe the title of “Funniest Comedy of the Year” to him. But there is a place to laugh. Simple as three pennies, history, very well furnished. Everything, as they say, is for you. Stupid and hilarious in moderation of the situation, periodically slip against the background of the general absurdity of what is happening. Moral about the family as the main value in life, fortunately, does not cut eyes with its bloated pathos, but is presented by the director in a warm, homely, measured portion. The picture, as befits a real family comedy, is very bright and juicy in the picture. Light colors, colorful background, a lot of colorful clothes, even kangaroos did not regret to add. No one is planning to leave style. I liked the characters, as they are well revealed, but the actors’ play is not quite. More specifically, some people involved in the project. I'm not going to troll my movie namesake. I liked the image. But still, Ed Oxenbuld played, to put it mildly, a little bad. If there were a lot of kids auditioning, was there really no one better? I don’t think there is a shortage of convincing and uncomplicated guys. We need to look better. A similar situation occurs with his on-screen brother and sister. The game is pretty mediocre. It seems that these people do not know how to play, or do not want to. Steve Carell and Jennifer Garner have no complaints. As part of the importance of the project, the actors worked well. Carell looks great in such roles, and Garner is very much going to play caring moms. In principle, the performance of other actors is also at the level of acceptable, but, as I wrote at the beginning, could be much more interesting candidates. I just had to take the casting more seriously. Directing from Miguel Arteta suited me completely. It is clear that the director set a goal - to make a simple and easy comedy for the whole family. Well. I'll see if he did. And the cameraman helped him do that. Everything's up. I don't want to be naughty.
In this case, writing a long text makes no sense. The film is simple and predictable. There is no need to write about some hidden subtleties, because they simply do not exist here. Cinema does not carry any other function except entertainment and entertainment. That is, with their direct genre duties cope diligently. Everything happens according to the current scheme, which has long proven itself, but has not yet outlived. The pattern, if you like. However, you catch yourself thinking that you are ready to watch such tapes again and again. The main thing is to keep the bar. It is better to try to lift. A more - less coherent set of wonderful and funny episodes, held together by a couple - three really funny jokes, and on top of that, as it should, a soulful speech about family and the final hugs. Because the movie, no matter what, is about family. In general, good, stupid, in the good sense of the word, family fun. With most of the latter, I thought it was a step higher than its competitors. I enjoyed a half hour of leisure. What I really want you to do.
It took a long time to digest in my head after the film, and what this work deserves. Throwing around in grades of 3,4,5, etc., I even tried to put the film on shelves. In storylines, in heroes. And every time I tried, the result was the same -- unfinished, unfinished, empty. In some places, the film represented flashing on the screen of different people. It's just flashing!
Apart from Steve Carell, there is no one else in the film. Starting their march in the film, the characters, within 5 minutes fade away, or just disappear!
And most importantly, This is a complete coincidence with Liar, Liar with Jim Carrie. Instead of Jim, Steve, who's called his family names. And a lot of people will say the line is the same, a bit similar... etc. Yes, it seems completely, and this is the film and repulses!
Unfortunately, he leaves nothing in the shower. It is not possible to turn on the re-view. And even, family ideals that are poorly represented films do not give him any advantages!
I think it’s probably Steve’s job.
Alexander and the strange, incomprehensible, very long name
I'm happy to tell my mom I've grown up. Because I won't buy any more kids', naive, Disney movies. Happy endings don't make me happy. Maybe I used to be a fool from the Bride's Corpse (okay, and now I'm a dick), but only because life may lack a little positivity. And Alexander and whatever it is, it's a bit too much. There is no distinction between good and bad. Again, Slack's Diary boy, unlucky guy with crazy family. The problem with Disney is that they don’t have new stories. There is no unexpected turn, no funny jokes, there is nothing that would hold your eye.
For Steve Carell, a separate and perhaps one thank you. Maybe the movie sucks, but Stevie's always great. The father, far from being a shy man, a wonderful father, a complete optimist, will eventually break down, but the family will save him and blah blah blah blah. Typical Disney. I don't know what the problem is. There are hundreds or thousands of such films, but they continue to shoot as if they are waiting for an Oscar. And I think I heard a little bit of vulgarity. Disney, where are you going, and not ashamed of you.
It's just, I don't know, it's not that funny, but it's dumb to death. The writers seem to have done this on purpose. 'Oh, that's a good joke, but our wit is lost now let's come up with some stupid dialogue to make the audience suffer.' It doesn’t matter, the audience is mostly kids, so why not? I don't even know what grade to give. The line is too thin.
I do not know what type of people rise to such pictures to write negative reviews, yes, although this is a typical, but still absolutely family picture, which carries only positive, with unobtrusive and easy to perceive moralizing – this is a worthy Disney film, do not wait for rust.
Alexander, a boy who is not always lucky, and he lacks parental attention, on his birthday wants his whole family to experience what a bad day Alexander is.
Of course, this is not a comedy, genre, the film gravitates more to a family melodrama with elements of humor, naive, but not a drop of vulgarity, which has become very rare. The bet was clearly made on the cast, where Carell was more responsible for those jokes that were still present, a couple of times he twisted his signature face that can not help but smile, and Garner was responsible for the same family, I am very impressed with her in such roles, although in fairness I must note that the core, so to speak, the root of the family, was the hero of Carell. Also, the children of the family did not let down, most of all I liked the daughter, such a nice without a tower persona, who repeatedly laughed.
I will recommend the film for viewing, this is a really decent family picture, which is not ashamed to show children that in modern cinema there is nonsense, during which even adults do not get bored.
“If there are no bad days, we cannot appreciate the good ones.” Even after watching the trailer, I did not have any huge expectations from the film, realizing that it is still a simple comedy, and not a sensational blockbuster.
The story of a large family: mom, dad and four children. Wow, it must be hard for them to deal with everyone. Alexander is one of the children, he is about to turn 12 years old. But he is sad that he is a loser. Adversity follows him on his heels, classmates slap him, taunt him, girls do not pay attention, he lives hard. Although, with all this, he is very optimistic, which causes respect. But the most insulting thing is that parents are busy with work, the youngest child or household chores, older brother and sister are concerned about their problems: performing in a scene and going to the ball with a girl. Not only do they not care about him, they also always succeed, unlike our hero. And so, on the night of his birthday, Alexander makes a cherished wish that everyone had a bad day. Well, what I wanted, I got.
I’m not going to say that the film is absolutely amazing or that I cried with laughter at sparkling jokes, no, but it cheered me up. The tape is cute, even cozy, and although it is a simple comedy, it teaches not to be discouraged when faced with difficulties. The actors are well selected and conveyed the characters as they should. It was very funny. Moreover, while watching, you remember how you yourself got into uncomfortable situations and realize that these were trifles, but at that time we inflated this problem of a global scale. But you just need to be simpler about what is happening and know that there will be good days.
Alexander is still a little boy, but in fact turns out to be smarter than many adults, because he steadfastly accepts all troubles, experiences any hardships and believes that tomorrow will come and it will be better.
If you have had a difficult day or everything went wrong, do not be discouraged! And be sure to watch a movie that will calm you down and cheer you up.

When I saw the trailer, I wanted to go to the movies. After all, this is a comedy from the Disney studio, which is neither a cartoon, nor a fairy tale, nor a full-length version of the series, nor a sequel or remake. Just a Disney family comedy. And the cast was pleased - I love Steve Carell and Jennifer Garner.
After watching, there were mixed feelings. There is nothing to complain about, but there is nothing to praise. I was surprised by the timing – I haven’t seen such short films in a long time. Less than 80 minutes, credits included. This recalls the days when the Nickelodeon channel produced children's films - there, too, the timekeeping never exceeded the specified mark. And the target audience was rather not family, but children - from 6 to 12 years. Younger humor will not understand, and older will be just not interesting. The jokes are funny, but again at the elementary level. And the film itself is more a set of gags than a whole picture. It's kind of incoherent. Morality, perhaps, should be attributed to the pluses of the film. The idea that life consists not only of good, but also of bad, so it is worth treating everything easier, because this is life - really uplifts.
The strange thing is that the film was released in theaters. It's clearly on TV. Well, let’s see where Disney will take us next. Cartoons are becoming more intelligent and non-standard, blockbusters and animated series are getting darker. And now there are TV movies in the movies to release steel. Perhaps they can afford such experiments.
I want to say that this is a mood movie. Of course, there are a lot of much more worthwhile comedies, but sometimes you just want to relax and smile. This film allows you to do both.
The optimist uncle who considers it his duty to protect his family from bad days, I liked the most. It reminds me of a childhood when everything was so rosy and new. The story of the boy is also a very nice feature of this film. Maybe that’s why it’s so easy to watch.

First of all, the film did not seem terrible, it was easy to watch and there was no impulse to turn off, for which he immediately receives 5 points. Some absurdity made this film somewhere even fun, fresh and cheerful, but for some reason after watching you want to smile, and therefore +1. For the music, a separate plus.
Alexander and the terribly unfunny and dull comedy
I remember when I was a kid, every time I heard the word Disney, I would blur into a smile and feel a rush of incomprehensible joy. Apparently, from this childhood impression and the recommendation of friends, I still decided to watch the film “Alexander and a terrible, nightmarish, bad, very bad day.”
It is not difficult to guess that the genre of this film is a family comedy. Before us appears a completely ordinary American family, where the schoolboy Alexander suffers from a lack of attention and misunderstanding from the family and bullying peers. And so on one of his “terrible” days, which coincided with his birthday, he wishes that everyone around him would experience all the difficulties and hardships of the “nightmare” day. The next morning, his wish comes true.
As expected, most of the script for family comedies shows less imagination than over films with other genres. The main bet in this film, the director apparently wanted to make on the skill of the actors and the dynamism of the film.
Steve Carell was invited to play the role of the father of the family, he should have been comfortable playing in this film, because he has repeatedly played in comedies in which he does not have days. And Jennifer Garner faced comedies in a similar way. The experience of these actors, coupled with talented child actors, had to make them laugh to the point of “colic.” But without quality and funny jokes and the original script, the film in my opinion failed.
Conclusion: Perhaps this film may appeal to children, but for an adult, this film is a dynamic, boring and not funny movie with a predictable ending.
It just so happens that this autumn is like a family comedy. First, Mrs. Dightfire, then Dream Vacation, and finally, a Disney film about the terrible (and many other epithets) day Alexander and his family. I liked the trailer, and I went to the movie with a purely recreational and entertainment purpose.
Alexander Cooper is an ordinary eleven-year-old schoolboy who is always unlucky. While his parents, older brother and sister – life is simply beautiful: Ben’s father, who babysits the youngest child Trevor, is about to be hired in a major computer campaign, Kelly’s mom – will become president of the publishing house, Anthony’s brother will soon get the license and he will be declared the king of prom, and sister Emily is preparing to shine in the musical as Peter Pan. Having experienced a very bad day on the eve of his birthday, Alexander at midnight makes a wish - that his family understand what it is like to experience a terrible, nightmarish, bad and very bad day.
It’s a funny movie that you can watch with your family. We see a lot of conceivable and unthinkable situations, where everyone can get, regardless of age. And while some of them border on madness and a huge amount of improbability, watching them is fun. Steve Carell and Jennifer Garner play parents who look busy but always try to find time for their family. I really liked the young actor Ed Oxenbuld, who played Alexander, who gets into a huge number of awkward situations, but tries not to be discouraged. The older children Anthony (Dylan Minnett) and Emily (Carris Dorsey) seem to be immersed in their lives at first, but then, having survived all these troubles, become closer to their family. Familiar actors also flashed in the episodes: Bern Gorman, as the director of the musical, Jennifer Coolidge, as a hysterical driving instructor, and Dick van Dyke as himself.
Among this plot and many situations, you can see the main thing - in the Cooper family, all members were busy with their lives, rarely spent time together, simply wrapped up. Through all these troubles, the family gets closer, spends more time together, trying to understand the problems of others and help them solve them. So it is quite understandable that Alexander wants to do this every day. A cute movie, though predictable, a bit naive, but still very cute. It's a great feeling!

Eerily naive, but very sweet, immediate and imperceptibly charming film. Funny family comedy with quite decent, in general, humor.
A simple story about one very difficult day in the life of the “average American family”.
Steve Carell, as usual, quite well, but the young actors did not disappoint. To follow the adventures of these children and teenagers was at least fun.
In general, there is a family comedy of positions, the most drop of melodrama and a decent piece of quite edible positive. After all, laughing and smiling when watching (modern) comedy is very good.
The film is quite a passing, but very cute. Well, Disney doesn't make pots.
Summary:
It's a nice one-night stand. Nice and handsome. It'll be fun!)
Alexander has no luck. His sworn rival bypasses him in everything, the girl he likes, does not pay attention, no one seems to come to his birthday, and in general his shameful photos are walking on the Internet. This is because his family is doing much better. Promotion, performance in the school theater, graduation with his girlfriend and one Alexander does not see happiness. On the eve of his birthday, he makes a wish, namely, that his family learn what it means to have a bad day, without even knowing that in the morning his desire will have very strange consequences.
In fact, these are the consequences of this movie. It mostly consists of gags in the style of the child smeared his mouth with a marker, the word jump was confused with the word burp, the sleeves caught fire. Is that funny? Not really. Nice and funny? Rather yes (for the sake of fairness, I must say that the movie is really children's, children's, even though the obscene photos are shown in close-up, and somewhere between the lines the name of the penis sounds). But that's the power of "Alexander," the joke that won't work -- at least it will. It's not funny, at least it's nice.
But, of course, the most pleasant thing about this film is the very moment when you realize that behind not necessarily a children's fairy tale, there is a statement. This most terrible day came in the family of Alexander not only because the author mixes falling cabinets and torn car doors. Who among us has not accidentally set fire to a chemistry class or, for example, not frightened by a crocodile that accidentally crawled into the house? I dare say no one. However, people have enough problems of their own (just in Alexander these problems are shown more amusingly). Bad days can kick, can upset, or even trample. However, as Alexander correctly points out, they only emphasize how good the others are.
If you try to translate the author’s idea even more globally, then a bad day is our life. And this is where the message becomes really grand. Life is terrible, terrible and so on. Only with an optimistic and positive attitude towards it can one survive. Sometimes negative circumstances can be turned on their side. A good life, if you think about it, is a good one. And indeed, it would be impossible to get such pleasure from an ideal life.
Be the captain of your ship, use your failures to the advantage of a terrible crocodile and a pirate suit for entertainment (demonstratively pretending that it should be so). And then your life will not be terrible, nightmare, bad and very bad.

In many films, you can see an episode showing a number of comic failures of the protagonist. But after ten minutes of showing off what a loser Peter Parker is, we're almost two hours watching how cool he is. Same story with Jim Carrey's character in The Mask, Walter Mitty and hundreds of other movie characters. That is, usually such short scenes are needed to contrast and show the changes in the life of this hero. But "Alexander and Terrible, Nightmarish, Bad, Very Bad Day" uses similar episodes quite differently. In fact, from the first to the last seconds, it is such an episode. This is its main and perhaps only feature. Watching Alexander (the first twenty minutes) and his family (the remaining timekeeping) get into ridiculous situations over and over again would be endlessly fun if the situations themselves were not so typical and dozens of times seen in other films. But again, these ridiculous situations are necessary for Alexander to achieve a goal that no more or less worthy picture has set for itself in recent years - to say that you can even find the good in bad moments, rather than waiting for you to learn to let the web out of your hands and fly over the city in red tights. To say family is cool. These simple thoughts are presented without excessive pathos and should be understood by almost all ages. For a family film, a genre in general rare since our Devenost childhood, you can't think of better. Moreover, "Alexander" does not try to please either children or adults. It is really family-oriented.
What the film is really unusual, not in the best sense, is timekeeping. Looking at the credits, it’s amazing how exciting the film is that it went so fast. And then you look at the clock and you realize that the session really went fast. The shortest movie you can see in a movie theater in my memory. And that includes animation.
Despite all the problems with originality, timekeeping and so on, “Alexander and Terrible, Nightmarish, Bad, Very Bad Day” attracts more than just an outstanding title. First of all, it is a nice good movie. It does not matter that in a few days it will be forgotten.
If there was a nomination for the longest title of a film within the framework of any film award, it would be possible to predict the victory of Alexander already now for a clear advantage: this film has such a long title that the ticket at the cinema where I went to see it cost extremely short “Alexander and the Day”. The plot of the film is very simple: in the center of the story is a 12-year-old boy living in a large family. To his trouble, not only does he suffer one fiasco after another (chemistry office set on fire, a beautiful girl does not notice, the planned party breaks down - in general, typical for a schoolboy of his age problems), but also his relatives do not notice him, being absorbed in their own affairs. At the same time, they, as a pity, everything works out, they go through life with inexhaustible optimism and with apparent ease overcome any obstacles. And so, annoyed Alexander on the eve of his birthday blows out a candle and wonders, so that at least once in his life his family had the opportunity to experience what is a “bad day” – because he has such days in his life most, and they have a clear “failure”. Naturally, the desire comes true, and right in the morning, Alexander’s parents, brothers and sister begin to fall out of their hands and go awry. However, severe trials according to the laws of the genre will only unite the family, make them reconsider their attitude to each other and to life, and they will continue to overcome all the troubles with their heads held high and traditional optimism. Actually, such a plot plot is not original: the classic “Home Alone” was built on the same principle “the hero-child makes a wish – it is fulfilled – the family is tested”. I suspect that “Alexander” in five years may become as regular on TV as the last 20 years has been a New Year’s comedy with Macaulay Culkin. It is also a comedy for family viewing, which laughs and at the same time unobtrusively teaches, the characters come out of trouble united and make the right conclusions. Jokes are not to say that homerically funny, but sometimes funny, and the plot itself is quite predictable, but the action develops quite cheerfully, and given the fact that the film lasts less than an hour and a half (modest timekeeping here as if in contrast to the exorbitant name), it simply does not have time for you to get bored. Children and animals are regularly present in the frame, the main components of a successful family comedy. And the problems that the Cooper family faces are quite common and close to any family not only in America, so there should be no misunderstanding when watching. In summary, “Alexander and a terrible, nightmarish, bad, very bad day” was not a revelation and showed nothing outstanding, but it is a good way to spend an hour and a half in the company of family or friends and not regret the time spent.

Summary:
It's a nice one-night stand. Nice and handsome. It'll be fun!)
Before I start, I’ll tell you: Why did I decide to write an article about this comedy? Because every day in our lives there are misfortunes and problems that we deeply regret and do not know where to go. And even in my life there are problems. There's nothing we can do about it! But one director can show us what the worst days of our lives are capable of, and how to solve them, to find the true value of the day we so deserve! And it turned out to be Miguel Arteta!
Alexander our Alexander,
The boy is not easy.
He made a wish on his birthday,
And the whole day turned into a bad one.
This picture is somewhat reminiscent of the film that was released in 2008 “Tales of the Night”. Probably because Alexander makes a wish that suddenly comes true for him, as well as in the movie “Tales of Night”, only unlike him in Skitter Bronson, all this magically happens every day thanks to fairy tales told to children at night! But I am sure that this film will never be compared with him!
The jokes of this movie will be great, that’s for sure! Since we are waiting for many unexpected, sudden, turning and even daring moments! I will be delighted to see the battle of the head of the Cooper family and the kangaroo, which has a very strong blow and is difficult to recover from. And we're going to see that. I especially liked the joke made by the teacher of one of the heroes of the film about Gromila Ralph! Since recently there was a cartoon about this hero of computer games. And I think that the viewer will be animated during the film, hearing a familiar name!
But what surprised me the most was the title of the movie, the long title I've never seen before! At first I thought it would be called Alexander, but then I quickly changed my mind when seven words appeared on the screen. In my opinion, only Western cinema can come up with such a name! This is Disney’s first and most recent breakthrough in the title of such films!
From this comedy, I expect it to appreciate not only its ups and downs, but also its “little loved ones.” Even when they are not noticed.
There are a lot of new actors in the film that we don’t know, but they’re the ones I expect normal heroes to come from! But I don’t give up on old actors, and I want to talk about them. Also, I can not note that in the film there are three wonderful actors who can say for a long time did not appear on the screen: we will see Steve Carell, who for a long time remembered by us for the role of Evan Baxter may not be on Evan Almighty, but certainly on Bruce Almighty. After all, we remember how he stuttered and said funny things on the air, when the main character made fun of him using his divine powers. Jennifer Garner is back, the famous Electra! Looks like it's the only role she's ever seen. But she still starred in different films, and got all the popular love. But the viewer will still remember her for the role of Electra, who performed brilliantly! And finally, the actress whose villainous essence on screens is always expressed best by this actress Jennifer Coolidge. We remember her from “Cinderella Story” where she was a stepmother, “Lemony Snicket: 33 Misfortunes” in the clothes of one of the actresses of the Count Olaf troupe, and in other films where she left her repeated participation! It will make the movie even more fun!
After watching the video, I was so amazed by the benefactor and good manners of Alexander’s family that I almost said, “Isn’t there a family like that everywhere?” Praise day by day for your success in work and life. Why can't you just keep quiet and pretend that you're good and not whip up others with your own accomplishments that made you famous? In my opinion, of all this company, only Alexander is normal, but sometimes he gets in trouble. And only he can inspire his family to new achievements, even when all the days turn against him! Sometimes children are not listened to when they try to say something important, which may depend on the situation of a family member. But children still do not lose faith, and they again ask new questions, and new answers that can later help their relatives!
Alexander is a boy with whom misfortunes happen all the time and the main character of the film. And with him, as with us, there are difficult problems every day. And, in the film, almost all of this is shown.
The fact that he tripped on the watering room on the grass, I do not pay attention to it. I don’t even think he burned the whole school down! But on your birthday to make all the days were bad not only for him, but also for his family, is too much! I, too, always want my loved ones to feel the same way I do every day: endless problems, attacks from relatives, irritation and failure. But if it happens to all the people you love or try to love, then what’s the point of living when you’re the only one who feels bad? I believe that this is not the way out, the most important thing is to love the world around you and try to love it not only people, but also animals and plants (which we do not even care, but we need to) and at the same time be yourself!
We can all hope that sooner or later these days will end, both in Alexander’s life and in ours!
