To Greg Heffley, middle school is the dumbest idea ever invented. It's a place rigged with hundreds of social landmines, not the least of which are morons, wedgies, swirlies, bullies, lunchtime banishment to the cafeteria floor - and a festering piece of cheese with nuclear cooties. To survive the never-ending ordeal and attain the recognition and status he feels he so richly deserves, Greg devises an endless series of can't-miss schemes, all of which, of course, go awry. And...

Full Plot Details

To Greg Heffley, middle school is the dumbest idea ever invented. It's a place rigged with hundreds of social landmines, not the least of which are morons, wedgies, swirlies, bullies, lunchtime banishment to the cafeteria floor - and a festering piece of cheese with nuclear cooties. To survive the never-ending ordeal and attain the recognition and status he feels he so richly deserves, Greg devises an endless series of can't-miss schemes, all of which, of course, go awry. And he's getting it all down on paper, via a diary - "it's NOT a diary, it's a journal!" Greg insists, preferring the less-sissyfied designation - filled with his opinions, thoughts, tales of family trials and tribulations, and (would-be) schoolyard triumphs. "One day when I'm famous," writes Greg, "I'll have better things to do than answer people's stupid questions all day." So was born the Wimpy Kid's diary.

Movie Reviews

Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Michael PhillipsKids may love the movie, and even kids who love the books may like it. For me, though, an astonishing percentage of the books' appeal has vanished.
Detroit News - 9/10 by Tom LongThe problem with Diary of a Wimpy Kid is the wimpy kid is a jerk.
Metro Times (Detroit, MI) - 9/10 by Jeff MeyersA mostly winning take on the tween-angst cartoon series
E! Online - 9/10 by Leslie GornsteinMuch of the book's cartoony charm gets lost in the conversion to live action, and we're left with a coming-of-age comedy that just feels aged.
Cinerina - 9/10 by Karina MontgomerySends all the right messages to the youth audience it targets and also keeps the grownups entertained with that forgotten, pre-ironic innocent comedy that fades as we each discover sex.
Bangor Daily News (Maine) - 9/10 by Christopher SmithThough not particularly groundbreaking or memorable, "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" definitely exceeds the standards for a modern family film and it's almost guaranteed to entertain any kid who goes to see it.
BrianOrndorf.com - 9/10 by Brian OrndorfThe film encourages urine, fart, and booger humor, which reeks of nosepicker pandering, compounded by a message of personal worth that never comes through clearly enough.
Filmcritic.com - 9/10 by Christopher NullMy seven-year-old daughter, who's been raging to see this movie since it was announced, has already called it "life-changing." How do you argue with that?
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertIt's nimble, bright and funny. It doesn't dumb down. It doesn't patronize. It knows something about human nature.
Times-Picayune - 8/10 by Mike ScottThe true measure of Freudenthal's film is that it's the rare kid's flick that their parents won't have to merely tolerate. Rather, they will enjoy it, too.
