The animation is so off-putting in its design... It's so ugly.

You just wonder if you're going to do something that this beloved and popular, why wouldn't you do it first-rate?

We love Greg’s egotism and love it even more when he realizes he’s been kind of a jerk to people who care about him. As long as the animated movies continue to understand that, they can keep going for as long as the novels have.

Rated: 8/10

This is truly a title that anyone can enjoy, which makes it a pretty darn great piece of holiday season viewing, since it should appeal to a pretty wide range of viewers with varying tastes.

The best DOAWK film in my opinion. Who would have predicted that? 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid Christmas: Cabin Fever' is actually a good movie, I am surprised that that is the case. It offers solid festive vibes alongside some improved humour and a heartfelt message, one that is portrayed in a really nice manner. There is also a great pace to events onscreen, not a surprise given the 60 minute run time, I guess. The ending almost derails when the Heffley family threaten to go rogue, though thankfully the film quickly regains traction to end pleasantly. Lisa Ann Walter does a nice job voicing her Gabby character. All in all, a pleasant addition to the franchise. Heck, it's the best film (low bar, admittedly) from the series, which is unexpected but welcome!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Christmas: Cabin Fever captures the tone of the books perfectly but with some holiday spirit. The humor, emotion, drama, and shenanigans that you'd find in this movie made me realize how much I've missed these characters and adventures from my childhood as I was an active reader of the books written by Jeff Kinney. I'm actually glad that Jeff Kinney is the producer, writer, and designer for these characters because this movie gives me not only a feeling of nostalgia but also provides a great Christmas movie that has heart, humor, and also suspense. The pacing of this movie is also pretty steady just being over an hour long. At first, I also wasn't sure how I felt about the voice acting for these characters as I think Rodrick and Greg's voices don't sound as I'd picture from the books but the voices for Rowley, Susan, and Frank all sound perfect. Overall, Diary of a Wimpy Kid Christmas is an excellent adaptation of the Cabin Fever book that is not just a dull adaptation but enhances the material with the tone, comedy, and the holiday spirit. Cabin Fever gets a B+

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
