Diary of a Wimpy Kid 3: Dog Days, the third instalment in the Wimpy Kid films, is sublimely funny for all ages. That's a tall order, but it's really true. The script, the jokes, the acting, the dialogue are all appropriate for pretty much all ages of children, but manage to be super-appealing to adults too. Zachary Gordon is back as Greg, the wimpy kid who just can't quite square his true desires--to play video games all summer, indoors--with his well-meaning dad's intention that he do something worthwhile, and preferably outside. When Greg starts hanging out at the swanky country club pool to be nearer his crush, Holly (Peyton List), he lets his dad (Steve Zahn) believe he's gotten a job there. The jokes and gags are not highbrow, and yet director David Bowers and the talented cast and well-written script keep things moving along, if you will, swimmingly. What's great about the Wimpy Kid films is that the kids are believable and on-trend, and yet wear age-appropriate clothes and don't drop swear words. It's endearing to see middle-schoolers treated as the almost-teens they are--emphasis on "almost." Diary of a Wimpy Kid 3: Dog Days is truly a comedy that the whole family can enjoy together. --A.T. Hurley
Product Description
Everybody’s favorite wimp, Greg Heffley (Zachary Gordon), is back for three times the fun in the latest film based on the super-popular book series. When Greg’s dad (Steve Zahn) threatens to send him to military school if he doesn’t stay out of trouble, Greg finds all-new ways to land himself in the doghouse. For starters, Greg’s in over his head when he pretends to work at the swanky country club where Rowley’s family has a membership. Things don’t go much better on a father-son camping trip with the Wilderness Explorers and then there’s the Heffley’s new dog, Sweetie, who fetches even more trouble for Greg in this hilarious family film.

This film was my first experience of the 'Wimpy Kid' series, when I took my 12 year old daughter to see it at the cinema.
I was expecting something aimed solely at the children, but was pleasantly surprised at how very good it was. I think I probably laughed more during the film than my daughter, who also found it very funny.
The acting by the youngsters is solid and incredibly entertaining, complemented by the adults who add to the drama and humour of each scene.
The plot is fine and bowls along at a good pace so there are never any lulls or dull moments.
For me, this is a film which delivers on so many levels and, as a previous reviewer points out - whilst it is not perfect, it is however exceptionally good and cleverly made.

Took my children to see this and was expecting to be bored out my brain. I was pleasantly surprised that is was actually really funny. I laughed out loud most of the way through. Thouught that the characters are very well cast, just love Roderick and Gregg is great too. I won't give the story away but definately a good buy for Christmas.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid; Dog Days- funny or stupidly funny?
Well, when I first saw this in the cinema I thought this would be the best in the trilogy of movies. It's the complete opposite. Read more
