Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010)
Don't waste your time or money
I agree 100% with Sean - this was a lame movie. There is nothing likable about anyone in this. Greg (the character and the boy who played him) completely lacked any charm - one-dimensional self-absorbed jerk of a character. By about halfway through the movie, I found myself liking the "villans" much more than Greg. The "tender moments" with his parents fell flat and did nothing to endear him to the audience. I wasn't expecting great cinema here; it's based on a kids' book. Didn't care for the potty humor; it was tired and immature. Even in a movie for kids, the material should try to be better. What I expected was a cute, goofy but heartwarming movie that left you smiling at the end. This is not that movie. I couldn't wait till it was over. If it weren't for my kids, who enjoyed it (but not as much as the books), I would have walked out after the first 30 minutes.
