Hapless preteen Greg Heffley (Zachary Gordon) endures bullies, swirlies, morons, and wedgies while navigating the treacherous world of middle school and recording his traumas in his personal journal in this family-oriented comedy inspired by author Jeff Kinney's best-selling series of illustrated novels. Try as he might, Greg just can't understand who thought it was a good idea to place kids who haven't even hit their first growth spurt in the same school as kids who get a five-o’clock shadow by lunch time. Realizing that he'll have to get creative if he hopes to survive until high school, Greg concocts a series of get-cool-quick schemes that all go hopelessly awry. Despite the fact that he's viewed as a dork by his peers, Greg never loses hope that someday, when all is said and done, he'll be able to look back on his middle school experiences and laugh. Steve Zahn and Rachael Harris co-star in this comedy from Hotel for Dogs director Thor Freudenthal. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

This movie goes straight to the heart.No matter what Greg does to be cool, it always backfires. Anyone who was ever picked on, made fun of or beat up in school can relate to this wonderful coming of age film. Life's lessons are often a hard pill to swallow.Everyone was at least one of these kids. The bully, the overweight, the nerd or the cool kid.One of the funniest things in the movie is the "Cheese touch". Fun for kids, families and just plain kids at heart.

A great movie for kids. Kids can really relate to the characters in this movie as it speaks to all kids, the kid with glasses, the fat kid, the nerd... I would highly recommend this movie to anyone, and especially with kids struggling and thinking that they are the only one experiencing these things.

Watching a funny, enjoyable lesson-learning experience take place, might bring us back to our own middle-school days. A good movie worth seeing..

Funny as heck! We laughed so hard! All the characters were great and well portrayed except Greg, who I thought came off as an unlikeable schemer

I agree with one reviewer, if you don't have kids who might chuckle now and then, adults will be bored with this flick.
