Synopsis:

Adapted from the successful work of Jeff Kinney's novel of the same name, the film tells the life of a boy - men Haffley Greg (Zachary Gordon) who just entered junior high school. Greg summarizes the humorous story of his life in a diary (which he admits is named journal), including about his family, his friends, and friends - classmates.

My Review:

Not many films about the lives of children 1 junior class (or a lot huh? Obviously I have not seen the movie - the movie ...), and The Diary of a Wimpy Kid summarizes the life story of boys - junior boys class 1 well. I think the film (including book) is so funny and fresh as Jeff Kinney is not stuck to include elements of romance in the style of a love-monkey in the film.

Jeff Kinney try to present a new perspective to explain about the meaning of friendship, and the recording - the recording of his childhood about how he sees the world through the eyes of a guy 12 years. No detail - detail that witty, that seemed escapes most teen movie genre today. About the legend of cheese stuck on the basketball court, how to dress in order to look cool, and the desire to be popular at school is - simple things are so special in this film. Extraordinary, the only thing was the brain child of 12 years it could be an interesting thing to me that ten years older. I also like the hubbub of the family of Greg. Brother - men nosy, little brother who followed Greg where - where, indifferent father and mother neutralize everything is a common family life. Simplicity was otherwise cause cuteness fun and not excessive.

Many film critics say it is, that Freudenthal failed to execute the film of the book well. Thus, for some people who have read the book and watched the new film will probably be disappointed. It is often the case of the film is taken from a book. For example, most Harry Potter fans are always disappointed with the films they have seen because it is not as much fun as his novels. But lucky me, I have not read the novel so that it can calmly watch this movie without being stuck with a detailed story of the novel that I never read it.

Recommended for:

You want to look for alternative comedy, you need a movie that can be watched family together - together, and you have just entered junior high school.
