Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Family, Comedy
3 stars
Cute film about a boy (Zachary Gordon) starting middle school and trying to fit in. He tries to change his blissfully happy and naïve friend (Robert Capron), only to learn the inevitable moral of the story. It’s cute, but not as many laugh out loud moments I was hoping for (for adults anyway). I probably got the most laughs from the tormenting older brother, Devon Bostik (Adoration, Saw VI, Saw IV). Rachel Harris (The Hangover) and Steve Zahn (Management, You’ve Got Mail) co-star as Gordon’s parents. Kids of all ages should enjoy this one, especially boys with it’s handful of gross-out moments. Cute.
