Just perfect...
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Just as good as the last one this film series will always be a delight to millions out there watching this some for the first time its amazing how movies like these grow into a success. 8/10
Whereas the Middle School movie was fun to watch, the Wimpy Kid series always presented a problem for me: it makes being that age seem as terrible as it really was. When Dog Days opens with a crowded pool scene, I didn't laugh at the predicament; I cringed at how unappealing it looked. Much of the rest of the movie had the same problem. Greg only seems to make things worse for himself with each scene, such that I lost empathy for him and just wanted to get out of his world. The main highlight is Roderick, and his storyline with the miserable Heather Hills. The ending scene where he destroys her party should have been a hilarious climax, but doesn't work for me. He isn't used enough in this film for my tastes. The series never really seemed to be putting in too much effort, but this entry feels like the laziest.
I don't know but I felt this one is the worst one out of the three but it's watchable. Watching this movie is like watching some crazy families trying to act normal. And that is where most of the humor comes from, watching crazy people trying to act normal. This time around it's the story centers around trust values and admitting to mistakes instead of running away from it. And it goes in a decent direction where the whole family can watch and be safe with and also get a few chuckles out of. It's basically a really kid friendly movie. Almost like those teenage Disney kids shows. Except it's in movie form. The movie however didn't seem all well put together although it does have moments where kids can get some laughs out of. It's a decent family movie but just watching as an adult, it can be below mediocre.5/10
Watched this with the kids today and i don't know...i'm thinking the best one was the first book to movie adaptation that i liked better anyways. It was OK and my son who reads the books wasn't totally impressed either. Greg our main character is about to chuck the school books and get ready for his summer vacation...you know the hard life of everyday video gaming whilst older brother Roderick sleeps like a bear. That is until dad (Steve Zahn) has something to say about it. This leads Greg in desperation in what to do.. once again using Wimpy buddy Rowley so he gain access to Rowley's mother's pool and day spa club most of all to spend time with new love interest Holly Hills ( Peyton List) which ends him up in a whole heap of trouble especially when older brother aka chief antagonist Roderick ( Devon Bostick) gets wind of it and demands that he will tell his father of his secrets unless Greg also sneaks him in.Not a bad film and probably a good family film for those that have enjoyed the others in this series however er the movies are running weakly on my son (A fan of the books) and myself so don't think we will be taking in anymore.
