Diary of a Wimpy Kid reviews

Diary of a Wimpy Kid holds a 6.2/10 average from 413 TMDB ratings.

**Nothing like the book...** 20 minutes into the movie and my head is already spinning. We start off with Greg's Mother buying Greg a diary. And after that cringe, we are introduced to a game that was never mentioned or depicted in **ANY** of the books. The plot and timeline are scrambled. The character design is horrid. And the overall film is just one big 💩. Maybe I should have stuck to reading the books.

Greg Heffley is a scrawny but ambitious kid with an active imagination and big plans to be rich and famous – he just has to survive middle school first.
