Whereas the Middle School movie was fun to watch, the Wimpy Kid series always presented a problem for me: it makes being that age seem as terrible as it really was. When Dog Days opens with a crowded pool scene, I didn't laugh at the predicament; I cringed at how unappealing it looked. Much of the rest of the movie had the same problem. Greg only seems to make things worse for himself with each scene, such that I lost empathy for him and just wanted to get out of his world. The main highlight is Roderick, and his storyline with the miserable Heather Hills. The ending scene where he destroys her party should have been a hilarious climax, but doesn't work for me. He isn't used enough in this film for my tastes. The series never really seemed to be putting in too much effort, but this entry feels like the laziest.

We went to go see the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid Movie-Dog Days and were pleasantly surprised as to how funny and entertaining it was. This is a really good movie for anyone who likes to laugh. You can't help but love this film because it will touch you on so many levels.A very relatable story about growing up and family dynamics...this film hit home in so many areas for my husband and I. The actor who played the main character (Greg) in the movie- Zach Gordon -was just wonderful, and so believable. He has a bright future in Hollywood. It was hard not to root for him. Steve Zahn(who played Greg's dad) was great also and so was Devon Bostik as Greg's older and tormenting brother. There hasn't been a good, solid, fun movie like this one in a long time.This movie isn't just for kids. No matter how old you are you can't help but enjoy this movie. I really recommend that if you like good, fun film entertainment, without all the $200,000,000.00 dollar special effects,hands down,this is, definitely, the "go to movie"!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog DaysWhatever knowledge children learn during the school year is quickly undone by the high concentration of chlorine in the public pool.Fortunately, the summering student and his older brother in this comedy are privileged to swim in a private pool.In order to get his dad (Steve Zahn) off his back during summer, Greg (Zachary Gordon) tells him he has a job at his friend Rowley's (Robert Capron) country club.In actuality, Greg spends his day poolside with his brother Rodrick (Devon Bostick) hitting on club member Holly (Peyton List).But their days in the shade are numbered when Rowley's parents discover Greg persuaded Rowley to lie to them.The second sequel in the kid-lit series, Dog Days delivers the same levels of laughs as the previous films but lacks some serious focus.Besides, swimming in a private pool means you won't get to miss any school due to pinkeye.

I thought Dog Days was a pretty good film. I was very impressed with Zachary Gordon's acting and the rest of the cast. There are some different aspects and genre the film concentrates on. It's a very nice little film that is funny and makes you laughing out loud around every corner. I thought Dog Days was missing something, something to make it shine. It felt unfinished or rushed. I don't know how to explain it. It just felt... unfinished? I quite wished to enjoy it a little bit more than I did, but it's still a good film for everyone. I still think the first two are a little bit better than this one, but it doesn't let down anyways.
