Diary of a Wimpy Kid

I was drawn to this movie after watching an excerpt of the movie in a YouTube clip. I regret not watching these movies when they were in theaters. The score and music is great, the casting is even better, and the movie leaves relatable moments from childhood that most adults can also relate to in one form or another. The only part that confused me was the addition of Chloe Grace Moretz's character who was not present in the books. She is mentioned in this film but never spoken about again.

Ok, not great. It's a well done film but I think it lacks a little spark

Kids probably enjoy this film. I didn't.

A classic that's funny, memorable, and iconic

A movie that my whole family loves. A true classic full of humor.

It was a fascinating middle school story. I used to be hooked to this series but now I just don't care for it since it's no longer relavent to my life. I'm not saying it's terrible, it just no longer makes an impact on me because it's not emotional enough, and the plotlines are not too entertaining or impactful. I liked it when I was in middle school and high school but I outgrew it since I don't find it impactful as a young gentleman. I was hooked to this 🎥 back in 7th grade. But I don't see any true friendship values from this series. I first read the book series back in 2nd grade and I saw the first clip of this movie back in the summer of 2011 when I was going into third grade. Personally, I'm not a fan of this series anymore because it reminds me of middle school nuisances and similar problems I dealt with at that age. My thoughts about Rodrick is that he gets on my nerves because he's more of a bully than a brother. I don't like Patty Farell because she's a mean girl who's always picking on Greg. To be fair, Greg made fun of Patty back in kidergarten so I can understand where she's coming from. The wrestling scene where Patty wrestles Greg is cringe. If I were to wrestle Patty, I'd do it using my full strength. I think Greg was nervous to wrestle Patty because she's a girl and the saying goes "you can't hit a girl". I personally think that no one can hit anyone unless depending on the sutiation regardless of gender. My thoughts about Greg's friendship with Rowley is that is it's not genuine. In other words, their friendship has toxic moments. Rowley is right about Greg not being a good friend because he did multiple mean things to Rowley. But the worst thing Greg did was endanger a kindergarten class and flee the scene and the worst part is that Rowley was blamed and Greg didn't even own up to his mistake. Furthermore, Rowley said Greg wasn't sorry about breaking his arm. Although Greg broke Rowley's arm by accident, he should've apologized to Rowley. Also, I'd feel imdimidated by Pete Hosey and his gang back when I was in middle school. If I were in the situation Rowley was in which was being forced to eat the moldy cheese. I would first kick the gang member who is holding me hostage right in the balls and then run away and I'm talking about Greg also. Being a preteen can be a headache at times and I think the pre teen stage is when boys hit puberty. I remember experiencing lots of changes within myself in between ages 11-14. I don't despise this series but I don't care for it anymore.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a profound, unique, entertaining and intelligent film. It follows the narrative rule of the hero's journey and is engaging. You sometimes feel angry and sometimes sorry for the protagonist, making it engaging. Highly recommended and a worthy cinematic work.

This is a surprisingly good film, why is this only at 54%

The fun and imagination from the bestselling book diary of a wimpy kid really hits although the movie showed it was quite cheap but it was definitely worth a watch.
