Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day from Disney follows the exploits of 11-year-old Alexander played by Ed Oxenbould as he experiences the most terrible and horrible day of his young life. But when Alexander tells his upbeat family about the misadventures of his disastrous day, he finds little sympathy and begins to wonder if bad things only happen to him. He soon learns that he's not alone when his mom played by Jennifer Garner, dad enacted by Steve Carell, brother played by Dylan Minnette and sister played by Kerris Dorsey all find themselves living through their own terrible day.
