Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days - Movie Review

Directed by David Bowers
Screenplay by Wallace Wolodarsky and Maya Forbes, based on Dog Days and The Last Straw by Jeff Kinney.
Running Time: 94 minutes (1h, 34 mins.)
Rated PG (for some rude humor).
Distributor: 20th Century Fox

Should I keep this short and sweet? Yeah, I should. 7 out of 10. Why? This is a better entry in this series, even though the screenwriters behind this don't know what story they want to settle on. Understandable, since two of the books were put together for this film.

Even as it veers towards stupidity (watch Devon Bostick do a punk rock rendition of Justin Bieber's Baby) and doesn't exactly deliver on the emotional moments, it does hit the sweet spot when it has to, making this third entry sort of onto the lengths of the first film and beats the second. So, as I said before...

Rating: 7/10
