A Taste of: ALEXANDER and the Terrible, Horrible, NO GOOD, VERY BAD DAY
I was going to skip seeing Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, thinking I wasn’t in the mood for a tween type flick. But after seeing the trailer several times, I had to admit the energy seemed crazy and fast paced, so I was curious to see if it lived up to the hype – it did, but not as I’d anticipated.

Nothing too dramatic, nothing too revealing and God, it’s been ages since any of us has brought anyone home to meet the family. A movie about our sibling dynamics would not be very interesting, on the surface… In This is Where I Leave You, novelist/screenwriter Jonathan Tropper takes a family…
