Funny For All

by dancestar 1

My ten year-old wanted to go see it and I had to be talked into going. Had a bad day, then saw this movie that made me laugh. It's has old school predictions, but sometimes that's all you need. Glad I went to see it.

Kid Safe And Funny To Grownups Too.

by Alon Patterson

Usually, the audience for these sort of movies is confined to the ten to fourteen year old boy crowd. No so here. In fact, consistently, the "Wimpy Kid" movies have not only been kid safe but filled with real comedy. Of course, this is in addition to the gross out stuff reserved exclusively for the kids. I doubt there's a man out there who can't identify with the "Greg" character here on some level, as we've all experienced at least one or more of his "growing pains." If you're looking for a "good" movie that's safe for the kids and one the big guys can enjoy too, this is your ticket. See it. You won't be disappointed.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Day

by Sharon2419

I took my granddaughter age 8. She has read several of the books and seen the 3 movies. She said, I liked this one best of the 3. I enjoyed the fun also and we shared some belly laughs. Well done.

Diary of a Wmpy Kid: Dog Days

by Beth63

I took my 10 year old daughter and she laughed through the whole thing. I really enjoyed this movie. I was surprised. I thought it was going to be a silly kids movie but it actually had some life lessons in it. True friendship and forgiveness. How parents aren't always mad but we do get disappointed sometimes. I don't know that the kids would pick up on what I did.
I really enjoyed it. I didn't look at my watch at all to see how much time was left. You know it's good when it starts and all of a sudden it's done. It really was an enjoyable film. I would see it again.

Just love these movies!

by falauri

Me and my son love these movies, so cute. Such great characters, we escpecially love Rodrick. The older brother is so naturally funny. One of our favorite scenes was the 2 boys and 2 girls playing tennis. Real belly laughing going on. You just hat that the movie has to come to an end. Keeps you wanting more! Great family film to go see! Can't wait until Diary of a Wimpy Kid #4.

Nothing wimpy about this movie!

by chezdoodler

The movie was hysterical from beginning to end. For once as a parent, I didn't flinch at language or lack of clothes in a kids movie! Great movie for the family! :) REALLY enjoyed it! Wish they made more movies that is 100% for the KIDS! Movies can be good without swearing and 3/4 naked people!

Funniest So Far

by daffycathy

I've seen all the movies of this series so far and this one is my favorite by far. I found the others mildly enjoyable, but I laughed consistently throughout this one. Your kids should love it. I brought my nephews and they were cracking up along with me.

Super Hilarious even for the Parents!

by mickeywest

I must admit, I so dreaded to go to this movie. However, my kids were dying to see it. I can honestly say, my husband and I laughed more than the kids! The movie was very entertaining and I'm glad that we didnt' miss out.

Nice continuation of a great series for the family

by KDS Colorado

This third installment of the Wimpy Kid series delivers what you would expect. In fact, it may be even more consistently funny throughout. Not the same emotional payoff as the others, but probably more funny moments and good performances.

Not just a kid movie

by lindylululu

I'm an older lady who took an 11-year-old girl to see this movie and we both loved it! I think she identified with the kid who was messing up now and I identified with the kid because of times I messed up but I also identified with the adults. The kid's parents are disappointed when he doesn't use his head; his friend's parents are angry because he has been a bad influence on their son and because he has been illegally using their charge account.

I liked the final message of the film, which was that even though the kid messed up at times, that's how you gain experience. His father affirmed that the kid was basically a good kid who just had some growing up to do. It seems that sometimes everyone--children and adults--are so afraid of making mistakes that they are completely immobilized. Let's get out there and make some mistakes, gain some experience, and do better next time!
