Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Diary of a Wimpy Kid

It's not a diary, it's a movie.

201092 min6.3 / 10

A lighthearted, visually playful coming-of-age comedy that finds humor in the universal awkwardness of middle school through a kid's irreverent perspective.

Greg Heffley is headed for big things, but first he has to survive the scariest, most humiliating experience of any kid’s life – middle school! That won’t be easy, considering he’s surrounded by hairy-freckled morons, wedgie-loving bullies and a moldy slice of cheese with nuclear cooties!
