Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2010

I have a child who loves the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series of books. Once she found out that there was going to be a movie about the middle school misadventures of Greg Heffley I got a homework assignment from her to read the first book. I'm not the least bit concerned to admit that I really enjoyed it so with only some trepidation I agreed to see the live action adaptation of the debut book. The "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" movie was pretty entertaining and funny in places but the casting of the characters just seemed off. Not the least of which was Greg Heffley himself played by Zachary Gordon. He's a cute kid and all but Heffley is really not a likeable character here. In the book Greg Heffley is someone you care about. And speaking of the book they should try making this movie again but this time animate it.

its great because first it become famous about the chease tuch and now its famous because of gregs singing

A pretty fun silly family movie that teaches a good lesson to young kids that popularity is not everything as friendship is most important. The plot development of this film is very good as you see two best friends juggle the tough social life of being new to middle school. There are some great characters like the older brother and the dad that are comical to add the fun to this film.

A little rough around the edges, but it spawned two great sequels, so I can't fault it too hard

It's okay. Just to see once. The idea was nice, but it could have been better.

The best part of the movie was the acting. It was acted extremely well especially Chloe Mortez. She was excellent. All of the actors/actress' were fantastic but it wasn't enough to make the movie a good movie.
