Overview: Our favorite middle-school pib-squeak (Greg) feels he’s ready for a new year, and there couldn’t possibly be any more changes… At least until he reaches twelve; then your body starts to change and looks more like Chewbacca. Like every other middle child in the world, he realizes that his older sibling is possessed by the Devil and has an objective to beat the living crap out of him. Sparks almost fly when Greg meets the love of his middle-school life, but will his brother allow such cheesy affection?
The Good: Everyone who’s human would agree that middle-school is a living Hell, and only the lucky droidish-preps enjoyed it. When C and I saw the first “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” we were amazed of how realistic it was, like we actually felt all the pain Greg was going through… well maybe we were just laughing at him, but I know we felt something right? Every character is funny and there isn’t a single bad actor in this movie, but C and I would have to agree our favorite is the fat little red-head named Rowley. This beefy child is the light of my life, the onions to my liver, the crohns to my intestine, and the Hermione to my Ron. Everything this kid does was hilarious, and even when he’s not doing anything you can’t help but laugh because he’s so realistic and comfortable with himself. Last but not least, you have to admire the nerdy red-head with Harry Potter glasses because he’s so awkward in everything he does, and if you add a leash then you would see me as a child.
The Bad: Honestly for the first time I can’t think of anything bad about this movie… I could say something about the teenage romance, but then I’d be repeating myself from the “Beastly” review and that stuff doesn’t really apply to this movie. This is more like a bunch of pre-teens being attracted to each other and they don’t even know what it is they’re attracted to, for all they know it could be each other’s nose hair that’s making them feel all cuddly inside.
The Ugly: The “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series is perfect for normal families, for very dysfunctional families I’d recommend something like “American Pie” or “Rambo”. People of all ages can get something from this movie. Teenagers will finally think to themselves “Finally! These Hollywood Butt-munchers get me!”, and adults will say “Glad we’re not stuck in that limbo anymore eh?”
