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

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.

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.

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

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

Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a film that is hard to judge yet also impossible to really worship.
