lots of lowbrow humor... none of it lands, none of it is funny and even Cheech Marin can't bring any spark into this sad family affair. The News-Herald (Willoughby, OH) Mark Meszoros
Very Bad Road Trip falls a little short of both its early promise and its 2014 predecessor, but if you're in the market for about an hour and a half of family-friendly entertainment at home, it's a solid choice. Common Sense Media Jennifer Green
This family film has good vibes and likeable characters, even if the comic timing isn't always perfect. Your mileage may vary on this Road Trip. Some of you will find it just fine, but considering the overabundance of smarter, funnier options for family viewing in the streaming landscape, I gotta say SKIP IT. Casey's Movie Mania Casey Chong
Saved by a fun, charming cast. FandomWire Manuel São Bento
For those who appreciate the original movie and don't mind embarking on a similar journey but with a more Latino-Hispanic flavor, the recommendation is simple: buckle up and enjoy the ride. CineMovie.tv Lupe Rodriguez Haas
The movie is a delightful family comedy. Thom Nemer's portrayal of Alexander is particularly endearing, capturing the character's innocent nervousness and paranoia about his perceived bad luck. Loud and Clear Reviews Maxance Vincent
Perfect viewing for kids who love to have fun and are looking for an easygoing, mildly thrilling time at the movies. Better yet, Very Bad Road Trip contains a positive message on life that children can easily digest, and parents will enjoy listening to. Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip's 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. Next Best Picture Daniel Howat
Lemus flexes some competent muscles as a director, crafting a nice film for younger kids to enjoy, but "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip" struggles to elevate itself from the countless similar family vacation comedies. Madcap antics are handled well in "Very Bad Road Trip," presenting domino effect fun for viewers, capably performed by the excitable cast.
