Critics Reviews

Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 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. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 20, 2021 Full Review Nicolas Rapold New York Times 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. Dec 3, 2021 Full Review Courtney Howard Variety 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. Dec 3, 2021 Full Review Aaron Phillips But Why Tho? A Geek Community Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a great family fun movie that, with roughly an hour-long run time, results in an easy watch. Rated: 7.5/10 Jan 16, 2023 Full Review Mat Brunet AniMat's Review (YouTube) 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. Rated: 6/10 Feb 16, 2022 Full Review Carson Timar Clapper Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a film that is hard to judge yet also impossible to really worship. Feb 12, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I luv wen hee sed bbl drizzy Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/14/24 Full Review Juan H It's very good. I Love the animation. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/13/24 Full Review Miles F The Animation is Amazing! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review Un H Diary of a Wimpy Kid's biggest crime is that Rowley deserved so much better than Gregory just as we the audience deserved a better more compelling film, "unlikeable" protagonists notwithstanding. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Courtney W Why do people like this series? The main character is a straight up narcissist. He's annoying and obnoxious to watch, then his character 180s to selfless sacrificial hero? I'm gonna need to see a chiropractor for the whiplash. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review Mason V not the best but not the worst movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/28/24 Full Review Read all reviews
