Greg Heffley is an ambitious kid with an active imagination and big plans to be rich and famous. The problem is that he has to survive middle school first. Animation,Adventure,Comedy I watched this new diary of a wimpy kid movie since I enjoyed watching the original live action films... And I wanted to see how bad this one would be. But to my surprise it was not actually as bad as I thought it was going to be. The animation does need some getting used to, since it is odd seeing the characters, in a 3D style, and in colour. But after a while, the film is reasonably enjoyable. There are some good jokes. In general, the film is not as good as the other ones, but it's also a good way to get a new generation into Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
