Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days combined books The Last Straw and Dog Days in the Diary of a Wimpy kid series by Jeff Kinney.Greg Heffley (Zachary Gordon) is looking forward to a lazy summer filled with video games. But his dad (Steve Zahn) might send him to Military school and his mother has "other ideas" for a good time. It is humorous.Greg also ends up trying to spend time with his best friednd Rowley (Robert Capron) and his love interest Holly Hills (Peyton R. List). The family bonding teaches a bit of a lesson. However, some scenes were all but unpredictable. Overall I rated the film a B-. While its main viewers (ages 7-13) will like it, people out of its main age range will not enjoy it. Which might be its purpose. But if you saw the second film Rodrick Rules, this one is not quite as good. It seems more optomistic than the books. Kids- still do not hesitate to see it.
