The winter holidays are turning out to be especially stressful for Greg Heffley this year. After accidentally damaging a snowplow while making a snowman with best friend Rowley Jefferson, Greg worries he won't get the new video game console he so desperately wants for Christmas. To make matters worse, he gets snowed in with his family, including his grumpy older brother Rodrick and annoying younger brother Manny.

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.

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.

Rating: 6.3/10 A chaotic holiday special with a heartwarming conclusion about charity and confession. Highlights - Growth Moment: Greg Heffley learns selflessness, giving up his Mega Station 9000. - Great Supporting Cast: Lisa Ann Walter shines as the Snowplow Lady. - Unique Animation: 3D style mimics Jeff Kinney's stick-figure drawings. Criticisms - Frustrating Start: Greg's greed and mischief dominate the first half. - Somewhat Flawed: Parents seem clueless, and lying is portrayed. - Animation Looks Cheap: Compared to higher-budget films. Verdict A mixed bag requiring patience, but the final message of sacrifice is worth sharing. Decent, clean family entertainment.

The animation really reminds of the actual books and the change to the actual book adds real sentiment and it just makes you realise what christmas really is about.

I am a huge fan of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, and I love most of the Wimpy Kid movies. To be honest, this movie was a bit of a disappointment. I did not like that the ending of this movie is different than the book, and if someone asked me if I preferred the Cabin Fever book or the Cabin Fever movie, I would say the Cabin Fever book. What I don't like is that they changed the ending to give it a cornier Christmas message than was in the book. For some reason, I don't like corny Christmas messages, because it is not how reality works.
