Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010)
I'll be famous one day, but for now I'm stuck in middle school with a bunch of morons

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 peoples' stupid questions all day." So was born the Wimpy Kid's diary.

    Being a good ole malchik brought up in the prevailing culture of theAmericas, this film seemed extraordinarily strange to me. At least, thevillage rituals and rites were appropriately foreign to me. I couldn'thelp but chuckle at these things that seemed almost surreal in my eyes.What I could deeply appreciate about this film is the astoundingquality of cinematography, editing, and overall film-making. ThorFreudenthal used some of the most brilliantly disturbing effects I haveever seen in a film. Even through the language and culture barriersthat seemed so overbearing, I was awestruck by the intensity of themovie's emotion, culminating in a wise-cracking junior high schoolscene. Thor Freudenthal quite literally sent chills down my spine. Heconveyed his narrative with a string of long, jerky, disjointedlysurreal takes, and it sent my mind into regions heretofore unexplored.I recommend this movie to those of us who are feeling bored and lazy,not those in chipper moods. The bored ones will be energized with anewfound sense of awe, whereas the previously happy ones will be deeplydisturbed. The movie is constructed of layers upon layers of biblicalmetaphors, allusions and also draws a lot of its symbols from theCarpathian nature and paganism.

    I haven't seen a film like this in ages, I can't even compare it toanother. Fun for the kids and adults too. A kid starts middle school,making the transition from grade school and this film nicely deals withthat chapter in a kid's life. The "cool" older brother who lives toantagonize you, the "yukky" baby brother who embarrasses you, the nerdyfriend who makes you look bad, they're all there. Who can NOT relate?The direction is perfect, the film is paced properly and exactly.

    Some really fantastic performances from these child actors and astoryline everyone can relate to. No foul language or sexualsituations… wow! We went with two 8 year olds and a ten year old andthey all loved it. For once, a film for everyone!
