Diary of a Wimpy Kid

I went to see Diary of a Wimpy Kid with a friend last Saturday and I thought it was great. Greg Heffley is terrorized by the thought of middle school and is the shortest and probably most un-popular person. He is freaked out, but has a false bravado. Surrounded by weirdos, his older brother Rodrick, and his best friend Rowley make his life, in Greg's opinion, terrible.

I love this movie and I highly recommend it. It is very funny, scary, and gross, all at the same time. It has Greg narrating the whole movie, making it seem like you are seeing the story through his eyes. The casting in this movie was great, and the actors nailed their parts. Zachary Gordon, aka Greg, did a good job having a quirky, memorable face, but not being always such a likeable character. Robert Capron, aka Rowley, did a great job bringing the happy, childlike, and loyal Rowley as we know him today. Devon Bostick, aka Rodrick, did a fantastic job being very cruel and full of himself, but having an innocent face when needed.

Well, overall I give this movie two thumbs up, and it is better than How To Train Your Dragon 3-D.
