Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Great family movie

My daughter's love the books so it only made since to watch the movie. Great work

Exactly as described.

My grandchild loves the book.

I thought the film was funny and entertaining. Moreover, kids really enjoy it. The film has some slight, but necessary departures from the text (otherwise the film would be a lot longer), and adds a female character who is in 7th grade, and is a photographer for the newspaper. And yet, the film remains loyal to the spirit of the written text. If you are a teacher using the text in class, showing the film, or a film clip, would be a useful compare and contrast activity. I did such activity with the Cheese Touch, which is one of the most memorable scenes for children. It turned out to be a useful activity that also helped build vocabulary. We could discuss point of view: in the book, Greg narrates the Cheese Touch story; in the film, it is told from Chirag Gupta's point of view. Also, students noticed effects used specifically for films, such as the spooky music, and hearing Gupta's mysterious voice. In sum, the film is a great experience for children.

My son loves it

These are watched over and over in our house. Thank you.

Bought this for my seven-year-old grandson recently. He had heard other kids at school talking about "Diary of a Wimpy Kid". I wanted to encourage him to have his Mom read the book aloud to him as well as viewing the DVD. He absolutely loves this series. It helps him to understand the common experiences he has at school and play with other kids like Wimpy". We discuss the situations later and gain insight into why certain behaviors work or don't work and about the qualities of having a good friendship and relationship with siblings and parents. The author is so insightful in how he decides on a story line and develops the characters. I purchased the next book and DVD as well called "Rodrick Rules", as Rodrick is the older brother who gives his younger brother a hard time. Again, this story was a huge hit with my grandson and he loves to view it over and over. It creates a great deal of laughter and is a terrific video for the entire family to watch. So glad to have discovered this series! Purchased online from Amazon. Always a rapidresponse/delivery time. Product arrives in perfect condition. I trust Amazon.

Bon film qui change des films pour ados, les gags ne sont pas lourds, amusant et qu'on aime regarder sans lassitude ! Il est pour tout âge.

C'est un film qui plaît beaucoup à mon fils mais j'étais surprise qu'il y avait le livre avec. Maintenant il a deux copies

...and girls probably, but I have 3 boys aged 7, 9 and 11. They all absolutely loved this film. The humour is very obvious (great for my son with Asbergers!)The message on the importance of friendship is done very well without pushing it in your face. As always a film is rarely as good as the book it comes from but my boys, who avidly read the books and are impatiently waiting for the next one, give this film a thumbs up!
