Join us this week for "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day". We talk bad titles, unemployed dad's and their potential for side, superstition, failing up, useless babies, fixating on popular dudes and why you can never trust the "perfect" high school girlfriend who doesn't put out. Does is movie have us living out best days or has it never been worse for us?
Storyline : Alexander's day begins with gum stuck in his hair, followed by more calamities. However, he finds little sympathy from his family and begins to wonder if bad things only happen to him, his mom, dad, brother and sister - who all find themselves living through their own terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

The crocodile at Alexander's birthday party is very obviously an alligator due to the fact that alligators are far less hostile than crocodiles, and, therefore, far less dangerous on set to handlers, cast, and crew.
In the book, whenever something goes wrong, Alexander vows to move to Australia to get away from everything. In the movie, Alexander is an expert in all things relating to Australia. Ironically, Ed Oxenbould (who portrays Alexander) is an Australia native.
In this movie Dylan Minnette and Kerris Dorsey play siblings but then began dating shortly after the movie came out.
