This family comedy follows Greg, a wise-cracking teen tasked with surviving the hardest years of one’s life: middle school (FYI, ‘middle school’ is the American label for intermediate school).
Greg navigates his way through all the social landmines: morons, wedgies, swirlies, bullies and a festering piece of cheese with “nuclear cooties”. His quest for the recognition he feels he deserves, in the face of these adversaries, is all noted in a journal (“it’s not a diary, it’s a journal”).
Diary of a Wimpy Kid began as a series of online cartoons by Jeff Kinney, then became the mega-selling illustrated novels on which this film is based.
(diary of a wimpy kid 2 rodrek rules) comes out soon hope fuly its cool like the first onwe and funnni
No great story line or theme to it but im sure it would be great for younger viewers, me being 15. Some funny jokes and strange sayings ... Atleast I didnt fall asleep.:)
Ok this one was funny. My son has read the books and he says it measured up just fine. I have not read the books and I had a good laugh, even if it is humour aimed at tweens 'funny is funny' no matter what age you are.
dont watch it is all i can say
DOAWK = Diary Of A Wimpy Kid My fave movi soo fare!!!!!!!
It's nimble, bright and funny. It doesn't dumb down. It doesn't patronize. It knows something about human nature.
It must be school holiday time because here come the kiddie movies. Thankfully, Diary of a Wimpy Kid is better than many you could be dragged along to by your pre-pubescent munchkin.
Fun, funny and affectionate, though it packs the emotional wallop of an undernourished high school nerd.
There is nothing wrong with the story itself, but the tone is grating and the pacing sluggish. Episodes that might be howlingly funny on the page turn weirdly gross and sadistic on screen.
A likable movie for kids that will make adults chuckle as well because of the movie's key ingredient -- wit.
We've been told the NZ release date for this flick is Thursday, 23rd Sep 2010.
