After ending up making a birthday sundae for himself, he wishes his family could experience the same sort of disappointment he goes through. What happens the next day is just that... |

Closest Thing We Got: Ben accidentally hires male strippers for his son's birthday party, somehow. (The only explanation we get is that they were advertised as "authentic Australian cowboys".) After realizing his mistake, he tells them to "keep it PG" but lets them stay. They turn out to be pretty good dancers and the kids are none the wiser. |

Extremely Short Time Span: The beginning of the movie takes place in one day, while the rest of the movie happens the following day. For one day, a lot of stuff happens, yet it never gets any darker outside, nor do the characters get burnt out until the end, so you'd be forgiven for forgetting that the title is Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day, emphasis on "day". |

Karma Houdini Warranty: Celia has gotten away with pushing Anthony for most of the film while Anthony was unable to see it since he was dating "the hottest girl in school". After Celia treats the Cooper family poorly during dinner, Anthony eventually realizes he had enough and decides to dump Celia on prom night. At Alexander's party, it can also be implied Anthony is starting a new relationship with Audrey Gibson. |

Casting Gag: Alexander is very fond of Australia. His actor, Ed Oxenbould, is Australian. This is a detail from the original picture book, but it works as this trope too. This isn't the first role in which Kerris Dorsey practices singing and has a song in the end credits. |

Adaptational Nice Guy: In the book, Anthony was just a straight Big Brother Bully with no redeeming qualities (though he had some Pet the Dog moments in the Animated Adaptation). Here, he is noticeably less cruel to Alexander, at least at the film progressed. Alexander is also noticeably more pleasant in the film. He never really snaps at anyone (notably Paul or his siblings, as in the book) and at least tries to stay cool even despite all of misfortune. |

Tacky Tuxedo |
| Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day / int_849fefd8 |
comment |
Tacky Tuxedo: A mix-up at the tuxedo rental place causes Anthony's tux to be given to someone else. The only tux they have left in his size is a decent powder blue one with a frilly shirt and a huge bow tie. He ends up wearing this to the prom. Well, he doesn't make it past dinner at least, but for other reasons. |

Nice Mean And In Between: The four Cooper siblings are divided into this. Emily is the kind and friendly nice, Anthony is the rude and immature Big Brother Bully mean and Alexander and Trevor are both the in-between as the former is a Jerk with a Heart of Gold and the latter can be an Annoying Younger Sibling at times but he's still harmless. |

Involuntary Smile of Incapacitation: Emily gets a bad cold on the day of a Peter Pan play, so she dopes herself up on cough syrup and ends up completely hammered. By the time she gets to the theater, she's babbling and chuckling. When it's her time to come onto the stage, she comes out and crashes into stage props, grinning and rambling the whole time. |

Disaster Dominoes: Each screw-up by the family members segues into the next one for somebody else. The events of the titular bad day are kicked off by Alexander accidentally destroying Trevor's pacifier, making him cry all night, causing Emily to rehearse outside and the parents to be up all night soothing him. This results in Kelly's car battery being drained, Emily catching a cold, the parents getting to work late... and it all gets worse from there. |
