Watch: Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2010 123movies, Full Movie Online – To Greg Heffley, middle school is the dumbest idea ever invented. It’s a place rigged with hundreds of social landmines, not the least of which are morons, wedgies, swirlies, bullies, lunchtime banishment to the cafeteria floor – and a festering piece of cheese with nuclear cooties. To survive the never-ending ordeal and attain the recognition and status he feels he so richly deserves, Greg devises an endless series of can’t-miss schemes, all of which, of course, go awry. And he’s getting it all down on paper, via a diary – “it’s NOT a diary, it’s a journal!” Greg insists, preferring the less-sissyfied designation – filled with his opinions, thoughts, tales of family trials and tribulations, and (would-be) schoolyard triumphs. “One day when I’m famous,” writes Greg, “I’ll have better things to do than answer people’s stupid questions all day.” So was born the Wimpy Kid’s diary..
Plot: Greg Heffley is headed for big things, but first he has to survive the scariest, most humiliating experience of any kid’s life – middle school! That won’t be easy, considering he’s surrounded by hairy-freckled morons, wedgie-loving bullies and a moldy slice of cheese with nuclear cooties!

Decent watch, probably won’t watch again, but can recommend, especially for younger audiences.The big problem I have with is this is that the protagonist is irredeemable until he’s basically a broken person in the 3rd act, and even then he’s not a better person, he’s just punished for his shallow attempts of social power advancement so much that accidentally chooses the correct political move to stumble into a happy ending.
The rest of the movie is surprisingly good, and reminds me of a younger “Mean Girls” where the social environment of the social is dissected as if it a “natural environment” and there is a metaphoric pecking order of life or death.
There are actually a number of great characters and fun events that happen in this story with a good mix of abuse and absurdity humor.
It’s not that it’s a bad movie, but I just didn’t enjoy the main character, so it’s this weird dip in a well made movie.
I didn’t know anything about this movie so I entered the theater with no expectations. It was actually a pretty good movie. I liked it. It was funny. Rowley was the best. I wish I had a best friend like him…well except for the silly outfits. All in all, I really liked this movie. Good for kids and adults.
Fair to Middlin…
I saw Diary of a Wimpy Kid (DOAWK) at a Cineplex large screen (full-price), with 2 grand-daughters, one of whom has read the books (I haven’t). I concur with others that the film starts out promising, but tends to bog down in the middle. The main character becomes a little mean-spirited, and the fun begins to fade somewhat. I gather that the books contain a certain cynical tone for the main character, and that the humour plays off that. When you transfer to a screenplay, you have to get the ‘voice’ right, or else the gags don’t work.I might compare it to describing a Seinfeld plot to a bewildered foreigner: “you see, George takes a disabled parking spot at the mall, causing a girl in a wheelchair to have an accident, so George and Kramer buy her a replacement wheelchair that has defective brakes, and she goes screaming down a hill..” sounds mean, huh? it’s not — it’s hilarious WHEN you see it in context. Maybe that’s what happens in DOAWK — incorporating several ideas from the books resulted in some ‘losing the context’, so to speak.
However, family films are few and far between these days, and this is passable family fun. My advice? if you have a matinée-priced theater, go see it. At full price? stay home and watch your ‘Better off Dead’ DVD on your big screen TV.
Diary of a Bad Movie
Anger, agitation, frustration can all describe the emotions during the film Diary of a Wimpy Kid. The book itself states in it’s tagline “A novel in cartoons”. Not “A novel that will be turned into a crap, live action movie shortly.” The part where a golden ray of sunlight was shone on this movie was seeing the cartoons from the novel come to life on the screen. Though those would disappear faster than you can blink.The film follows closely to the book it represents, in this case the first novel in the DOWK series. Greg Heffley (Zachary Gordon) is starting middle school on the wrong foot. He has an overprotective mother, a confused/harmless father, a humiliation bound older brother, Rodrick, and a innocent youth named Manny. Greg has really only one close friend, childish and loner Rowley (Ropert Capron). He is often poked fun at by his classmates and Greg himself. Not only in the film does he do a bad job of being mature, but does a miserable job at acting.
The film tries to be cute and funny with its jokes on “The cheese” which is just as bad in the book as in the movie, the stupid recurring jokes about a classmate having “a cute butt”, and the weird kid no one gets by the name of Fregly. If anyone has reads my “It seems we were more mature when we were younger” blog, many kids at my school found the jokes in this movie to be funny, which I find completely distasteful, but I’m not the one with poor judge-meant and taste.
Its unrelenting to watch two amateurish actors (Gordon and Capron) try to make the cartoon versions of themselves come to life was a miserable attempt that should have never came pass the talking stage. I never wanted this film to be made, but this is a new low in poor kid films. I love the book, I hate the movie. Enough said. Its a miserable uninspired mess that acts funnier than it is. It basically picks every possible bone to get a laugh out of the audience. I have never put my hand in my palm to shade myself from the poor jokes ever in a film. This is groundbreaking.
A sequel will probably be spawned along with another, and eventually being a movie to go with every book. Most having the redundant plot line and the dull character adaptation about a self absorbed kid. Keep in mind, I consider myself wimpy, I think I’m a wimp, I know I’m unappealing and non-athletic. At least I can face the fact rather then push myself to the limit with exercise equipment and thinking I will be the next Bill Gates or someone rich and famous. Director of Hotel for Dogs, Thor Freudenthal should find better work than great books turned into Grade F kids films. Beyond mediocre and boundaryless in the distasteful department, Diary of a Wimpy Kid is the worst film I have seen all year.
