Introduction
If you love comedy read on, but if not dream on! Parents need to know that this adaptation of Jeff Kennedy best-selling diary of a wimpy kid film is full of teen-friendly jokes and mischief.
Warning
There are no full-blown swear words, but the film includes a lot of insults like "moron," "idiot," "tool," "stupid" and the like, as well as the standard substitute for stronger words, "freaking'." Parents sensitive to scatological humor, beware! There are several jokes about boogers and farts, a few shots featuring kids on toilets (the middle-school boys room has no doors on its stalls), and in one scene, the protagonist accidentally pees on his brother. While there's no frightening violence, there is a running theme about three older bullies who menace the main characters, and there's a girl who beats up a boy in front of the entire school. A rebellious seeming teen brother wears eyeliner, is in a garage band, and is caught with a naughty magazine (the cover only shows a woman in a bikini).
Best bits
I won’t spoil it but the best part is where they all talk about the cheese touch a rotten piece of cheese and if you touch it you get the cheese touch.
Why you might not enjoy it
Some adults may find it childish or boring.
My over all recommendation
My over all recommendation is to watch the film because it is absolutely hysterical. The actors are very good and the characters are good.
