BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Real Chasecraft Probably the worst diary of a wimpy kid movie. Omg. This is just terrible. Rowley's hair?? ITS SO OBVIOUS IT'S A WIG. OMG. And Zach Gordon was like... 15??? He was entering 8th grade In real life. I hate this movie. How does this movie have good ratings? 6.4/10???? 1/2 STAR. Would Not recommend
Python Hyena Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (2012): Dir: David Bowers / Cast: Zachary Gordon, Robert Capron, Devon Bostick, Steve Zahn, Rachael Harris: One can assume that the subtitle symbolizes the subdued summer through the perspective of the hero, but physically the dog that is so advertized on the film's poster, is involved in so little of the plot that one wonders whether it was necessary. The principal actors are all back. Zachary Gordon is our wimpy kid who looks forward to a summer of video games until his hopes are blocked with his father's push that he become involved in outdoor activities. He lies about a job at a country club when he learns that the girl he has a crush on is teaching tennis there. While the first film is enjoyable and contains much that children may relate to, this third outing is pointless and only heaps on a bunch of useless subplots about sixteenth birthdays, carnivals, and a lame wilderness group that only adds to the film's poor visual appeal. Gordon survives the material as the scheming kid who avoids responsibility and disappoints his father. Robert Capron plays his naive pudgy best friend who becomes Gordon's passageway to the country club. Devon Bostick steals much humor as older brother who is involved with a terrible band and blackmails Gordon for club access. Steve Zahn as their father makes an appearance but he seems merely reciting tired formulas done by previous actors playing frustrated fathers. Rachael Harris resumes position once again in the mother role. Like the subtitle, this family film is a real dog in more days than one. Score: 2 ½ / 10
On A Starless Night A very good movie.I had a great time watching it.Very funny and thoughtful yet simple.It's summer time and we see our favourite wimpy kid on an adventure to impress his middle school sweetheart, his only summer plan apart from playing video games all summer.His efforts to avoid spending quality time with his family members give the movie its twists and turns.The movie is about having fun, learning from mistakes, learning to be responsible and supporting each other in tough times.What makes Diary of a Wimpy Kid special is, its simple yet thought provoking insightful narration.Hats off to the original creator Sir Jeff Kinney for providing us with such remarkable characters.Special thanks to the Director and the Screenplay Writer for a beautiful and apt adaptation of the same.A good movie for both kids and adults.Please watch.
Matra Mellark 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.
