Watch Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days For Free

Undescribable Perfection

Powerful

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

To be honest this movie is not really anything close to the books but it is good for what it was plus it's just a completely different story all together.The plot was good but not as good or memorable as the previous movie, it looks like Greg is still trying to impress Holly and if read my previous review I mentioned I had a crush on her and I still did in this. But I wasn't too happy about how the character of Heather Hills was wrote compared to how she was wrote in the books (Greg's crush and she was nice to her sister) but in the movie she is Rodricks crush and she was mean to her sister. I am just glad that in this movie unlike the book Holly and Greg become a couple. It is a rare case of scenario I would prefer the movie to the book but in this case I do.I haven't seen The Long Haul yet but once when I have read the book I will check it out and review it. I hope it's good. Overall if you liked the original movies you will enjoy this :)

Usually when it comes to the third film in a comedy franchise, the ideas are not really that original anymore. Mostly they would be tackling things that worked in the first two episodes and giving them a twist or two to distinguish it from the others.However in this third film in the Wimpy Kid series, this third film called "Dog Days" actually proved to be the best one of the series so far. Of all the films, this one had the most heart.This film mixed in stories from the third (my personal favorite) and fourth books of the series. It focused on the summer vacation of our hero Greg Heffley. Like before, Greg gets into a number of misadventures as he "worked" at the country club to impress his dad, as well as to get closer to his pretty crush Holly Hills. This was the most we have seen from Steve Zahn as Mr. Heffley in the series so far, and he actually delivers the goods as the bumbling but kind-hearted father. It also tells about a disastrous vacation with Rowley and his folks at the boardwalk, a disastrous camping trip with the Wilderness Explorers, as well as disastrous Sweet Sixteen party for Holly's snooty sister Heather, whom Greg's brother Rodrick has the hots for. These and the Heffley's acquisition of a new dog Sweetie, make this a most hilarious episode, yet still able to impart a number of moral lessons for the kids when it comes to relationships with their friends and with their fathers (which especially hit home for me).Overall, I would recommend this as a very good family film for kids. Nothing here is particularly mean-spirited (unlike Book 2). Valuable lessons on responsibility were learned by the young characters as a result of the mischief they perpetrate. Those who like a good father-son story would enjoy this film. Yes, this might be shallow juvenile comedy on the surface. However, the moral values it imparts can run deep, yet all delivered in a truly entertaining, delightful, and unpatronizing package.

A very good movie.I had a great time watching it.Very funny and thoughtful yet simple.It's summer time and we see our favourite wimpy kid on an adventure to impress his middle school sweetheart, his only summer plan apart from playing video games all summer.His efforts to avoid spending quality time with his family members give the movie its twists and turns.The movie is about having fun, learning from mistakes, learning to be responsible and supporting each other in tough times.What makes Diary of a Wimpy Kid special is, its simple yet thought provoking insightful narration.Hats off to the original creator Sir Jeff Kinney for providing us with such remarkable characters.Special thanks to the Director and the Screenplay Writer for a beautiful and apt adaptation of the same.A good movie for both kids and adults.Please watch.

I thought Dog Days was a pretty good film. I was very impressed with Zachary Gordon's acting and the rest of the cast. There are some different aspects and genre the film concentrates on. It's a very nice little film that is funny and makes you laughing out loud around every corner. I thought Dog Days was missing something, something to make it shine. It felt unfinished or rushed. I don't know how to explain it. It just felt... unfinished? I quite wished to enjoy it a little bit more than I did, but it's still a good film for everyone. I still think the first two are a little bit better than this one, but it doesn't let down anyways.
