Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 12/20/2021
3.5/5
It's the little dramas that are the meat of it, and Kinney's script is particularly brilliant when it comes to capturing the petulance and cruelty with which hurt children can lash out at their friends. Go to Full Review
Nicolas Rapold New York Times 12/03/2021
Incarnated in gently bulbous, digitally smooth form, our hero, Greg Heffley (voiced by Brady Noon), runs through a good-natured medley of misadventures over 56 episodic minutes. Go to Full Review
Courtney Howard Variety 12/03/2021
While the wholesome-minded product feels a tad redundant, it establishes its own identity, improving upon its cinematic predecessor enough to make it a worthwhile watch. Go to Full Review

6/10
The 2021 Disney+ version of Diary of a Wimpy Kid does have some of the charm of the beloved book series, but like Greg himself, it can end up with some wimpy results. Go to Full Review

some t @somethingels Dec 20 I really hate this thing See more Speakerman G Dec 11 Um filme fraco e vazio, a primeira adaptação em animação de Diário de um Banana possui roteiro vazio, exclusão dos personagens Secundários amados e animação de baixa qualidade. Simplesmente vazio e decepcionante. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 8 Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010) animated film is a thoroughly entertaining adaptation of Jeff Kinney’s beloved book series. The story follows Greg Heffley navigating school, family, and social challenges with humor, heart, and plenty of awkward mishaps. The screenplay captures the cheeky, corny humor of the books perfectly, making it highly relatable for children while keeping them fully engaged. Greg’s antics, combined with Rowley’s optimistic personality and the quirky dynamics of Greg’s family, create a lively, immersive world. The animation is bright, expressive, and fun, emphasizing visual comedy that enhances the story. While some moments are cheesy, they work for the target audience, delivering laughs and emotional beats in equal measure. Supporting characters, like Greg’s parents and siblings, are well-developed, adding depth to the story. Overall, it’s a playful, heartwarming, and highly enjoyable film for kids, capturing the essence of the original series. See more Ray C Oct 6 A fun and faithful animated adaptation to the classic children's book. See more Rihannna H Sep 8 Eh it’s okay but just nowhere near the live action and really not that good. See more Tara P Aug 8 It's not like the live action ones See more Read all reviews
