Alexandre e a Viagem Terrível, Horrível, Espantosa e Horrorosa

Disney+'s new venture is to bring us a new adventure based on Judith Viorst's book, and it does so with a fun family comedy that will have you having a good time in front of the screen with the simplicity of its Latin charm within an American family.

Bet on a charismatic cast.

One of the film's greatest achievements is its charismatic cast, with whom you can connect immediately and grow to love as a family from the very first minutes. Eva Longoria, Jesse Garcia, Paulina Chávez, and especially Thom Nemer have a blast in this family adventure filled with situations that make us laugh easily and also transport us to the heart of a family with those Latin roots. We can also add Rose Portillo and Cheech Marin as great supporting characters. This whole chaotic family adventure is in the good hands of a family that makes you experience good times.

It is light, for the whole family.

Director Marvin Lemus and screenwriter Matt López play it safe and don't complicate the story to please everyone. They invite us on a family trip filled with effective clichés and few things that break the mold, but that allows you to get hooked from the start and surrender to a film that lets you disconnect and spend a pleasant moment in front of the screen. It doesn't ask for more than it delivers, nor does it need to; it's a film that's easy to connect with, easy to love, and above all, quite funny, which is what delivers the most satisfaction. A simple family story for adults and children in equal measure.

Conclusion.

A pleasant film that lives up to expectations. It won't revolutionize the screen, but it will provide a pleasant family moment where laughter is guaranteed, along with excitement and that flavor of Mexican and, at times, Latin culture, which is always a pleasant moment to watch.

Definitely not as bad as I thought it was going to be.

It serves as a fun family movie, those family movies that you used to put on and just have fun with it. That's what this movie serves. (A movie where your grandma would laugh out loud at)! The plot isn't great, it is predictable, but it's fun.

Like I said, plot, isn't that well written and movie can be boring here and there, but back in the day when Netflix used to have all these families straight to streaming movies that were good. This movie serves as that.

I do have problems with the plot overall and other things, but you can just throw that all aside and just enjoy the movie!

Seemed like a cool concept for a movie and was hoping it was going to be good. Unfortunately it was slow, lame, uninteresting and had terrible acting. The directing and AI screen writing sucked as well, why not let a human do that? After a half hour the movie went nowhere and was not interesting. It had so much potential and Disney ruined it. The weird Sci-Fi RV part of it made it way too weird and not make sense. Meet the Millers was 10x better than this. I'm not sure why they couldn't pre-screen this movie before releasing it, a seven year old would've told them it was lame. Oh well, another 1 star movie next to Snow White.

This sequel delivers familiar family-road comedy vibes and tries to explore cultural themes, but ultimately falls flat due to weak humor and minimal chemistry. Julian Roman notes that themes of learning your roots and respecting cultural differences almost make up for the strained attempts at humor and a surprising lack of cast chemistry .

For me, the movie features a few cute moments (especially from Cheech Marin), but most of the slapstick feels tired and predictable. The "bad luck curse" idol adds a memorable twist, yet the stakes rarely feel real, and the characters seldom grow beyond caricatures.

It's not a terrible watch-kids may enjoy the physical comedy-but adults will likely be bored by the formulaic setup and lack of genuine laughs. A passable, if forgettable, family flick.

It was pretty bad. Poor cinematography, shots were obviously shot in a studio. It got pretty boring pretty quickly. Disney Channel movies from the 2000s were much better than this. The plot was pretty pointless. It tried to be funny without delivering. There's a reason Disney stopped promoting it the week it came out and now has to be searched for on Disney+. It seems the 10/10 review were written by those who worked on the film as this is the 21st review written. The production was pretty low. For family movie night I should've just picked The Goofy Movie for the 30th anniversary because Disney has been missing on good movies this year. Hopefully Lilo & Stitch can right the ship. We switched it off halfway through to watch something actually entertaining.
