About this movie

A live-action adaptation of Jeff Kinney's best-selling illustrated novel, "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" chronicles the adventures of skinny "middle child" Greg Heffley over the course of a school year, as told through his diary and hand-drawn cartoons. Determined not to remain on the lowest rung of the social ladder during his first year of middle school, the hapless Greg takes several stabs at becoming popular -- including betraying his seemingly uncool best friend -- but when his efforts backfire spectacularly, he realizes that keeping a low profile may not be such a bad idea after all. As Greg says, "One day I'll be rich and famous, but for now I'm stuck in middle school with a bunch of morons." Zachary Gordon as Kinney's wise-cracking hero, Greg Heffley. Rachael Harris and Steve Zahn play Greg's quirky parents.

This is definitely the best one. Yes, some of the humor is pretty cringe-inducing. But there's also some laugh-out-loud moments that make everything worthwhile. There's a general sweetness to the movie, even with how much of a jerk Greg is. P.S. Chloe Grace Moretz steals the show. This film is bound to put a smile on your face.

Somebody looked at this film and said "This is funny and entertaining!" The fact that this movie exists brings my brain to a boil. The characters are nothing but crap, the story is forgetable, and I've seen better acting in a disney sitcom, and that is the true definition of bad acting. Not funny, not entertaining, and I would never show any child to this abomination.
