were the animated ones good
june
the new animated one actually surpassed my expectations
june
it played it a little too safe though and many scenes i remembered word for word from the book
june
the animation was endearing but not pretty at all
june
fregley was exceedingly fruity i appreciate the rep
Blammo
what one was your fav book
june
last straw for sure
june
i went to an author reading/signing back when dog days came out so it stands out in my mind

not a bad choice, i was manipulated during my up bringing so i had horrible opinions like “cabin fever is the best one”

cabin fever is literally my least favorite LOL

my favorite of that era was third wheel

june
was patty farrell even in the books i dont remember her at all
Blammo
id fuck rodrick
Blammo
also yeah she is
june
patty ferrell is a lot like joker from the movie joker
Blammo
shes like the joker but for us girls
june
the holly hills of the movie goes way too overboard with how shes portrayed in the books. i hate how perfect and flawless shes shown to Actually Be despite in the books it just being gregs perception of her bc he has a crush on her!!!!!
june
the old movies do a better job of portraying greg himself though. the animated one goes too easy on gregs antisocial tendencies
Blammo
honestly i only liked the little sketch animations

why the FUCK did they make the dad look like that

and why the hell do both greg and rowley have a landline phone when they gave rodrick fucking airpods
june
this film cannot decide whether it is set in 2008 or 2018
june
greg drawing every girl exactly the same is a cute touch that does not translate well into 3d especially when they dont even bother to give them different hair
june
they have the same earring and everything bro at least greg distinguished them a LITTLE

the acid puddle wasnt even gregs original joke. the original was a 'step on a crack break your mommas back' joke and rowley being the visionary he is came up with the acid puddle joke using the same punchline
june
these animators did not grow up reading these books and it shows
june
they dont even show the bone sticking out of the foot which is hilarious considering there is a joke IN THE MOVIE (carried over from the book) about gregs comics being censored to be more family friendly
june
everything humorous about this original scenario was utterly ravaged by everyone involved
june
it is also simply an unfortunate truth that zoo wee mama does not hit the same after a decade of internet dissemination
june
i think its time for me to speak my truth. i am a greg kinnie

one day i am going to draw greg in the shinji chair pose and it will be the funniest thing i have ever done

june
overall i would give this movie maybe 2/5 stars. a solid attempt and an interesting stylistic direction. much of the flavor of the original book was scrubbed in order to make it a more appealing and well rounded story which sort of defeats the entire point. cont ->
june
a big middle finger to jeff kinney for writing a behemoth of a cultural touchstone and then bodying its legacy for what i can only assume is money. my man deserves it but come on you can do better than this. bill watterson would be rolling in his grave if he were dead. hes rolling in his bedsheets or something instead

why the hell does starting a fight onstage HURT gregs social standing. it was very based and misogynypilled of him

unironically so adorable i love their relationship. the dad is one of the most endearing characters in the franchise when properly portrayed

my favorite fun fact about this scene is that they had to make hundreds of ice cream cones, a new one for each take, since the set was sweltering 
june
rowley is ruthless in the fight scene and its a total departure from his character. this is the one thing i can say the animated version did better
june
"gimme the wide one" lmfao

oh shit greg takes the fall for rowleys cheese eating in this movie too

overall: another 2/5 stars. attempted to distance itself from the book somewhat which actually helped it stand on its own a little. the portrayal of fregley was flawless but all the other characters were just a little bit off. chirag gupta deserved more of a role than being a clone high ghandi imitation. cont ->
june
angie was a horrendous addition that solely detracted from the film. i still cant figure out why the fuck she was even there besides to help the movie pass the bechdel test at the last possible moment. apparently angie disappears in the next couple movies so i imagine this criticism is not new! anyway decent attempt and good vision from jeff kinney
june
on to rodrick rules 
june
this little bit where they morph the cartoon depictions into the actors is jaw dropping. stunning. never been done before. i am still in awe at how well this was pulled off 
june
THIS POOR ACTOR IS SO MUCH UGLIER THAN HE WAS TWO YEARS AGO
june
rodrick on the other hand 
june
this is not the first time this man has contemplated divorce 
june
they have done the exact same "oh youre related to rodrick? come sit at the front" bit in all three of these movies so far and it was excusable for the first two since they were from different continuities but again??? really????
june
rodrick doesnt shower gag number two! armpits out and everything

is this entire movie going to be recycled clips from the first

the bathroom door lock situation reminds me of how like five years go my dad repainted our bathroom door and had to remove the knob plate thing in order to do so but then when he put the plate and knob back together he misaligned the lock mechanism and it ended up rotated 90 degrees from its original position. anyway im still struggling to adjust

i acknowledge the heavyhandedness of the conflict but got dam when rodrick said 'youll never be my friend' that shit hurted

combining the second and third books like this was a fine decision in retrospect but at the time i watched this all hope of the series continuing was dashed in an instant. perhaps it would have been better had my fears come true

review time! this one is 4/5 stars, a huge step up over the first. i feel as though there are real reasons to watch this one besides the wimpy kid brand. the party and subsequent repercussions are a fantastic dramatization of the arc in the book and it is pulled off in a perfectly quirky wimpy kid manner. cont ->
june
once again greg is too nice but his actions follow logically from his previous portrayal. i think it is safe to say that all three of the "styles" so far (book, live action, animated) are effectively separate canons from one another. i never actually saw the newer live action film with a different cast, and im interested to see how they handle it. cont ->
june
future films notwithstanding, this is truly a classic and a lovely end to the live action movies if you are looking for a clean, self-contained narrative. this movie really brought rodrick to life and while some of the cast ended up sidelined a little (fregley 
) the character driven narrative is impeccable.

shoutout to the soundtrack as well! rodrick rules really goes ham with the theme. i should have mentioned earlier that the 2021 animated special also had pretty decent music as well
