      Critics Consensus

      Moderately witty and acceptably acted, Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2 isn't much worse than the first installment.

      Divya I LOVE THIS MOVIE SOO MUCH. It's PERŔRRRFECT I seriously idnt understand why this is the lowest rating in the trilogy! (47%) There's everything AMAZING about it. Devon Bostick, The Rock show at the end,The party scene,Rowley and Greg,The Parents,Laine McNeill's performance,Karan Brar's performance ,Peyton List's performance and even The little bond between Rodrick and Greg. It's everything that makes it good! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Leandro T Cheesy and kinda bad. I like it tho Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review Dev N The critics are high if this is rated the worst DOAWK movie. This is fr a childhood classic. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/29/24 Full Review Mason V best of the series! this is a movie worth watching. not just to pass the time, but to have a good time. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/28/24 Full Review Blake B Better than the original. Devon Bostick is one of god's greatest creations. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/02/24 Full Review Kieran K Critics were way too harsh on this movie. Its genuinely a really well-cast, witty and heartfelt film, and is easily the best in the series. This is one of those rare times a live-action kids movie has held up for me while rewatching it as an adult. Check this one out, its seriously a lot of fun.

      Philip French Guardian It's an episodic film, rather less interesting than its British director David Bowers's earlier work as an animator in Britain and America. May 28, 2011 Full Review Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) For a family entertainment this isn't at all bad. Rated: 2/5 May 27, 2011 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard There are momentary shafts of something like wit within this slightly bland mix... Rated: 2/5 May 27, 2011 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com If your kid loves the books, then he/she may very well enjoy the film but likely on a lesser level. Rated: 2.0/4.0 Sep 6, 2020 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews The Diary of a Wimpy Kid saga continues with this predictably mediocre installment... Rated: 2/4 Feb 4, 2016 Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures Even though this new movie is under another director, it feels very much like the first film. The characters are great, being both relateable and extreme. Rated: 4/5 Sep 16, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews
