Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip

Movie 2025 96 min PG Family, Comedy
AMU 8+ * Quality ★★★☆☆

Our take

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip is a Disney+ PG sequel about a cursed family vacation. Slapstick mishaps, an empty-car explosion gag, and lots of oh-my-God style exclamations appear, but no real violence, drugs, or romance beyond kid crushes

Uplifting themes

Family teamwork, resilience, and empathy are central Alexander and relatives learn to support each other

Talk after watching

  • Bad days happen to everyone. How does Alexander learn to reframe luck?
  • Family trips can be stressful. What helps your family work as a team?
  • Superstition versus responsibility: should the family blame the idol or their choices?
