Directed by Marvin Lemus(Gentefied), Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is a new Disney comedy that promises to be as chaotic as it is fun. Based on the best-selling book Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst, the film follows a young boy who believes he's cursed with bad luck, as his family embarks on an unforgettable trip to Mexico.
Alexander et son voyage épouvantablement terrible et affreux will be broadcast on Disney+ from March 28, 2025.
Synopsis: At the age of 11, Alexander Garcia is convinced that he is being pursued by bad luck. When his mother, a travel agent, organizes a family vacation in Mexico, he's convinced that everything is going to go wrong. And he's not wrong! In their luxury motorhome, Alexander, his parents, his teenage sister and his grandparents are in for one disaster after another. But when they find themselves in possession of a cursed idol, they have no choice but to overcome their tensions and unite for a safe journey home.
To embody this colorful family, Disney has assembled an attractive cast. Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives, Flamin' Hot) and Jesse Garcia(Flamin' Hot) play young Alexander's parents. They are joined by Paulina Chávez(Destin: The Winx Saga), Cheech Marin(The Long Game), Cristo Fernández(Venom: The Last Dance), Harvey Guillén(The Life of Chuck), Mabel Cadena(Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), Michelle Buteau(Crush) and Rose Portillo(That's Amor).
With its accessible humor and fast-paced adventure, Alexander and His Horribly Terrible Journey seems toappeal to families looking for light entertainment. Its tone is reminiscent of films like Maman, j'ai raté l'avion and Journal d'un dégonflé, where one disaster follows another to the delight of the viewer.
Behind the project are Deadpool & Wolverine producer Shawn Levy, Dan Levine(The Crater), Dan Cohen(The Boogeyman) and Lisa Henson(Pinocchio). The script is by Matt Lopez(Promised Land), promising a faithful adaptation of the original book, modernized for today's audience.
With its mix of humor, hilarious situations and touching moments, Alexander and His Horribly Awful Journey promises to be an ideal comedy for the whole family. This film could well provide a dose of good humor for viewers in search of escape and laughter.
