Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip! took the cast on a much better adventure this week. Eva Longoria, Paulina Chavez, Cheech Marin and director Marvin Lemus made the trek down to Miami. At AMC’s Sunset Palace, the stars sat down for a special screening with distinguished guests like Jessica Alba, Ana Navarro and Diana-Maria Riva.
Big Brother and Big Sister program members joined in on the fun with Embrace Girls Miami, Super Moms Miami and some lucky Girl Scouts. Entertainment Weekly asked the director about taking on such a beloved story. He feels like there’s something everyone can relate to there.
“I loved the book growing up,” Lemus previously explained. “I loved it so much as a kid because it was one of the only books that I can remember that wasn’t so happy-go-lucky. Everything in books for kids is so hunky dory, and I had a dark cloud over my head plenty, and that was the only book that made it okay, that made it seem normal.
He adds, “Yeah, you have bad days. It happens. And this story and script really kept the spirit of that alive, of just kind of being okay with having bad days and how family can be at the part of that.”
