Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (2012)

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

We went to go see the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid Movie-Dog Days and were pleasantly surprised as to how funny and entertaining it was. This is a really good movie for anyone who likes to laugh. You can't help but love this film because it will touch you on so many levels.A very relatable story about growing up and family dynamics...this film hit home in so many areas for my husband and I. The actor who played the main character (Greg) in the movie- Zach Gordon -was just wonderful, and so believable. He has a bright future in Hollywood. It was hard not to root for him. Steve Zahn(who played Greg's dad) was great also and so was Devon Bostik as Greg's older and tormenting brother. There hasn't been a good, solid, fun movie like this one in a long time.This movie isn't just for kids. No matter how old you are you can't help but enjoy this movie. I really recommend that if you like good, fun film entertainment, without all the $200,000,000.00 dollar special effects,hands down,this is, definitely, the "go to movie"!

Finally! The last film. The last in a trilogy of Terror. Diary of A Wimpy Kid: Dog Days takes The Last Straw and Dog Days and puts it together. I have read through the books mildly but I must say Im not a big fan of them. But you want me to get into the bad stuff like Steve Zahn's performance and the Offensive stuff right? OK. Lets get into it.It starts off the same way as every other one. With cartoons becoming human. It was cool at first but then it lost its touch. The film is about Greg (AKA Zachary Gorden who has hit puberty) losing his video game privileges to his dumb overacting insane dad. His mom tells dad to GO AND FRIGGN BOND WITH HIM! So he does. Things do not go well. Greg lies about getting a job. Insane dad finds out. OH NO CONFLICT! They go camping. They bond more and learn some important lessons. In the end they eat pizza. The end.Thats a sum up of the whole entire story. Why was this even made? The parents still have to suffer through the same thing although they tone down the bullying to a minimum.The movie is severely unfunny. It has predictable gags and creepy scenes that don't fit in with a kids film.I think some of this film including the others were shot here in BC. But I don't really care if Gorden and Capron go on the spinning thing of death where for the story they make up stuff about people dying on it.This is another horrible movie that has no improvement over the last one. It is really awful.15/100 D-

Diary of a Wimpy Kid is back with a third installment and this one was cute just like the others. I thought it was pretty funny. Greg is out of school for the summer. Of course he's after Holly Hollis and gets to go the country club with best buddy, Rowley, and learns that Holly is working there this summer. So, he wants to go every day and lies about a job. To keep the secret, he has to let Rodrick in. So lots of funny parts with them sneaking in, ordering way to much, thinking it's free. Other funny parts, Holly's sister's birthday party with Loaded Diaper, the I love you because with Rowley's family, the pot roast and the dog.FINAL VERDICT: Worth checking out.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog DaysWhatever knowledge children learn during the school year is quickly undone by the high concentration of chlorine in the public pool.Fortunately, the summering student and his older brother in this comedy are privileged to swim in a private pool.In order to get his dad (Steve Zahn) off his back during summer, Greg (Zachary Gordon) tells him he has a job at his friend Rowley's (Robert Capron) country club.In actuality, Greg spends his day poolside with his brother Rodrick (Devon Bostick) hitting on club member Holly (Peyton List).But their days in the shade are numbered when Rowley's parents discover Greg persuaded Rowley to lie to them.The second sequel in the kid-lit series, Dog Days delivers the same levels of laughs as the previous films but lacks some serious focus.Besides, swimming in a private pool means you won't get to miss any school due to pinkeye.
