This is one movie that you should not miss. Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a tale of your average kid with not so average dreams. Its tag line says it all “I’ll be famous one day, but for now I’m stuck in middle school with a bunch of morons”. This is kid’s movie which has almost everything for the audience, right from small kids to grownups. The comedy is in adequate dose and for the philosophers this movie imparts a lot of morale teaching too.

The movie draws its inspiration from the hugely popular book “The diary of the wimpy kid” by Jeff Kinney. Having read the book I can safely say that the movie has retained all the exciting and comic parts of the book and the story line does drifts more that necessary. The characters are exactly like in the book and they all have been created the way they should have been.

The story revolves around Greg Heffley (excellently portrayed by Zachary Gordon); he is normal looking average school kid who is starting with middle school. Once he is in the class he makes a promise to himself that he will break his nerdy image and will become the most popular guy in his class, so that girls will start liking him. He lives with his family that consists of father, mother and a very insane elder brother who keeps him in check with his numerous pranks.

Rowley and Heffley have been friends since children but when they arrive in middle school Rowley decides to avoid Heffley to gain social status. On the other hand Rowley is unaware of such a situation and he is quite happy with the things around him.

A major twist in the story comes when a comic made by Rowley becomes hit in the school while Heffley’s is sent to the sidelines. This leads to jealously and their friendship breaks. To show each other that they don’t need the friendship to live they make new friends and start pretending that life is good. But eventually the bubble bursts and both realize their error in ways.

Both the lead actors in the diary of the wimpy kid have performed exceptionally well. And more so their chemistry is spot on. They have defined the friendship between Heffley and Rowley very nicely. Their minor squabbles and fights have been enacted to perfection. As a result the effect is quite visible and it supplements the story of the movie greatly.

Overall this movie is pure unadulterated fun. The story is fresh and for the first time any movie deals with rigors of a middle schooled kid. It is highly recommended for movie goers of all ages and especially kids.
