Leave your thoughts about Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days.
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchIt's Tom Sawyer for the age of video games, a scrappy, anecdotal affair... |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank Swietek'Dog Days'...unfortunately proves an apt subtitle...maintains the relatively low standards of the earlier [films] without trying to raise them. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowWith each movie, the franchise becomes better at milking the formula that causes 4th graders to cringe with delight. |
| Entertainment WeeklyAbby WestThough often self-centered and conniving, Greg remains a likable kid, and the movie entertains by pulling off over-the-top scenarios that set up digestible life lessons for youngsters. |
| Washington PostSean O'ConnellIt really captures what it feels like to be a kid. |
| San Francisco ChronicleAmy BiancolliReal emotions get expressed. Real family harmony emerges. |
| Fat Guys at the MoviesKevin CarrIf you're a ten-year-old boy (or have a ten-year-old boy's sense of humor), you should like this. And I'm nothing if not a big, fat, hairy ten-year-old boy. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)The warm, funny "Dog Days" is the best of the three fine "Wimpy Kid" movies. |
| Village VoiceNick PinkertonIt's the latest installment in what now forms a lightly likable trilogy of films based on Jeff Kinney's Wimpy Kid books. |
| The A.V. ClubNathan RabinGenial and pleasant to a fault, the film could benefit from a little more personality. |
