Michael Ledo Greg (Zachary Gordon) has moved on to the seventh grade. He hangs out with his wimpy friends. The new girl in school is Holly Hills (Peyton List). She has long blond hair and has captured everyone's attention. Greg's friend Rowley (Robert Capron) says, "She's as pretty as my mom," in an awkward Freudian moment. Greg's parents are the stereotypical embarrassing parents. Greg and his older brother Roderick bond in this film as they share a secret. Roderick (Devon Bostick) who is part of a garage rock band, "Loded Diper"(sic) gives his brother advice on how to get Holly's attention. And there is a talent contest in town...Rachel Harris plays the mom. She is made to look like Tina Fey in a non-threatening way. She like movies were the man chooses the maid over the super model.The movie contains pranks. The boys misbehave in ways we wish our kids would only misbehave. Good movie for family night entertainment as it was amusing and palatable for adults.

Mr-Fusion One aspect that's kinda nice about these movies is that they're just as episodic as the books, even if Greg isn't as likable as he should be. "Rodrick Rules" isn't as fun as "Dog Days" (I watched these out of order) but it's light, peppy, and there's a good chemistry between Greg and Rodrick; precisely what's needed for this movie to work.I'm still partial to the books (in a big way), but the movies are a good way to kill an afternoon; this one included.6/10

Catherine_Grace_Zeh Even though I haven't read the novel, DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: RODRICK RULES, in my opinion, is an excellent big-screen adaptation of a Jeff Kinney bestseller. If you ask me, Patty (Laine MacNeil) was a totally b****y ice queen. I think that for many reasons. In my opinion, one of the most hilarious parts of this movie was when Greg (Zachary Gordon) was hiding in the ladies restroom. If you want to know why, you'll have to see the movie. Also, I thought that every attempt to have Greg bond with Rodrick was hilarious. In conclusion, if you enjoyed the novel or are a fan of anyone in the cast, check this movie out today. You'll be glad you did.

Rebecca Crews A few weeks ago, my best friend and I were looking for movies to rent, mostly for ones we could make fun of, as we enjoy doing that on occasion. We saw this movie and thought "Well, here's just another really horrible movie for kids that we can make fun of" so we rented it. When we watched it, we were surprised to find this movie genuinely hilarious! Despite the somewhat stereotypical characters of the dumb older brother and the dorky younger one, I found the chemistry between the two very refreshing, and the writing style to be witty.This comedic family film perfectly portrayed the most annoying parts about having an older sibling, with the fighting, the yelling, and the wacky adventures that always seem to happen when your parents aren't looking.I found this film to be a refreshing and genuinely hilarious tale of what it's like to have an older sibling, and I would recommend this to anyone looking for good entertainment.
