Eva Longoria is the Family Matriarch in “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip”
Eva Longoria is the family matriarch Val Garcia in the first-look images from Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip. The upcoming Disney+ movie is a followup to the 2014 film Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, which was adapted from a classic children’s novel of the same name.
In addition to Longoria, the multi-generational cast of the road trip comedy includes Cheech Marin, Jessia Garcia, Paulina Chávez, Harvey Guillén, and Thom Nemer as the titular Alexander Garcia. The first-look images show the cast navigating a disastrous road trip, with Longoria’s character, Val, arguing with her husband Frank while wearing a shirt that reads “May Contain Wine.” Alexander and Chávez’s character, Mia, and Guillén’s character, Claudio, can be seen seeking help from a stranded motorist.
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip is a family-friendly movie that uses the similar premise of its predecessor, but shifts the focus to a Latinx family and turns Alexander’s misfortune into a road trip comedy. The movie will debut on Disney+ on March 28, 2025.
Behind the scenes, the Disney+ movie is a reunion for Longoria and Jessia Garcia, who previously collaborated on the Disney+ and Hulu movie Flamin’ Hot. The first-look images show that there will be tension between Longoria’s and Garcia’s characters during the road trip, but this conflict will likely be resolved by the end of the movie thanks to Alexander.
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip looks like a refreshing update of its source material, and with Longoria’s track record of producing and starring in entertaining projects, it is likely to be a fun and enjoyable experience for the whole family.
