It's a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad movie

This movie is one of the absolute worst Disney movies that I have seen in recent days like Wreck It Ralph (2012), Frozen (2013), Snow White and the Hunstman (2012), all of which are not as good as Disney classics like The Little Mermaid (1989), Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), The Incredibles (2004), the toy story trilogy, Monsters Inc. (2001), Finding Nemo (2003), Pirates of the Caribbean series, Cinderella (1950), Fantasia (1940), Pinocchio (1940), or even Sleeping Beauty (1959), and also this movie is one of the worst movies of the year. The movie tells the story of a boy named Alexander (played by Ed Oxenbould) who is about to go to school and before he does he has a piece of bubble gum stuck in his hair and this clumsy event ends up with more stupid events that we as viewers are supposed to call funny for example everyone is scrambling to get ready and take care of the baby, his mom (played by Jennifer Garner opens the bathroom door in which her son Anthony (played by Dylan Minnette) naked and lots of other hell breaks loose. Director Miguel Arteta uses the same directorial technique as Dennjis Dugan when he directs one of those goofy Adam Sandler, but instead this one is with Steve Carell as the bumbling father during the course of the film. Even though the movie was very baldy written it had good moral standards because the only thing that this movie tries so hard to tell us is that people don't have to have good days all of the time and that sometimes you got to have the unfortunate bad days. The acting in this movie is very cheesy throughout with a decent cast humiliating themselves in a so called "good movie for children", (in which I don't think that this movie is goo d for anyone at any age, and why this movie had to be made I don't know. Anyway back to the reason why I think that the acting is terrible because you got Steve Carell and Jennifer Garner acting as very stupid parents Dylan Minnette and Kerris Dorsey acting as very dumb older siblings, Bella Thorne as Anthony's girlfriend Celia who is truly a spoiled princess, and we got a young Ed Oxenbould who tries so hard to give a good performance but he really gives the only good performance in the entire movie. What a waste of money.
