![]() ![]() His unemployed Dad (Steve Carell) is worried about a job interview and his mother (Jennifer Garner) is anxious about being late for her work where she is in charge of a celebrity book reading. The next morning Alexander awakens to a family that has slept past the alarm. Not able to sleep, he makes himself a birthday sundae and blows the candle out with a wish that the others in his family could have a bad day too so they can understand what he’s going through. Like the old saying about salt in a wound, Alexander sadly ponders the next day, which happens to be his birthday. Instead he sits through dinner listening to his parents and siblings describe all the great things that happened to them since breakfast. After Alexander Cooper (Ed Oxenbould) has a day that includes setting his school science lab on fire, he comes home to his family for some solace. We’ve all had bad days, but some days go beyond bad. ![]()
