Movie Review: Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Eh. Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day was just a run of the mill fluff. The story itself was utterly predictable filled with cliches and overplayed scenes. It was so paint-by-the numbers that literally, I guessed every scene in my head. The direction, while competent, was uninspired. The script was marred by random moments that somehow undermined the marginal believability of the story. Heck, even with a good cast, their genuine talent wasn't enough to overcome some of the things they needed to do. The characters lacked depth, and the overall humor was bland. Sure, the movie was still watchable, but when the movie was played out, I was less than fulfilled. 4.5
