The Diary of A Wimpy Kid:Rodrick Rules [Movie Review]
Hii everyone,It's finally the weekend, I'm so glad.
I remember reading this book sometime last month,writing a review about it and sleeping with a smile on my face because it was lovely experiencing the feeling of something you experienced when you were younger. I don't know,it felt like it was part of the plot in my life because some days after that,I see a clip on Instagram of the Rodrick rules movie. I never got to watch this movie when it first aired on Disney channel. I don't remember where I was or what I was doing but I never watched it. "It is time", I said, as I quickly saved the video and also took a screenshot and added a reminder on my phone so I would watch it. It's been busy these past weeks and I haven't really been settled to watch anything that doesn't interest me two minutes in so I've been searching for peak at first sight movies. That sort of thing. The Diary of a Wimpy Kid:Rodrick Rules.

The Diary of a Wimpy Kid;Rodrick rules movie is a book adaption of the same title. It revolves around Greg Heffley and his brother Rodrick and the Heffley family. Greg Heffley (Brady Noon) is still navigating the ups and downs of middle school, and his older brother Rodrick (Hunter Dillon) is still, well, being Rodrick.
The story starts with Greg's mom and Greg's dad trying to get Greg and Rodrick to bond. They're all about family time and making memories, but Greg and Rodrick are having none of it.
Rodrick is lazy, sarcastic, and always up to something mischievous. Greg, on the other hand, is just trying to survive middle school. He's dealing with bullies, crushes, and trying to fit in with his friends.
Soon enough,Greg's mom comes up with this brilliant idea (not really) to make Greg and Rodrick spend quality time together. She takes away their screens - phones, tablets, video games, the whole works - and tells them they have to find other ways to entertain themselves and bond as brothers.

Greg is horrified. Rodrick is, well, he doesn't really care. He's all about finding ways to get out of doing anything that requires actual effort. Despite their initial reluctance, Greg and Rodrick start to bond over their shared misery. They start to play pranks on each other, and even team up to take down a common enemy (aka the school's resident bully). But things take a turn when Rodrick's band, Loded Diper, starts to gain popularity. Rodrick becomes a total diva, and Greg's left to deal with the fallout.

I was screaming whilst watching this, cause I saw familiar characters from Hey Jessie and it was nostalgic. Oh my God,I felt so old seeing this. I genuinely missed it all..I missed all the Disney shows and Nickelodeon shows,but especially Disney. It's been so long. I don't know what they show there right now but it's been so long. I genuinely I enjoyed it..they nailed the book adaption. Left almost nothing untouched. It was wonderful to watch.
Thanks for reading.

I love the storyline, I'm sure there would be a lot of lessons to learn as well. Rodrick seem like a character many would find annoying and attractive from his role lol.
I can tell you miss disney, they have new movies and series now but of course, we would always miss the good old days 🥹
Nice review and wow! I didn't expect to see a picture of the book.
I just had to input the book cause I had it, haha.... I really do miss Disney,sigh
Thanks for commenting @merit.ahama
Would you say you enjoyed reading the book more than seeing the movie adaptation?
I can't really say, honestly...The book back in the day was really goood but the movie was better I think!😂 The book made you want to have your own diary to tell your own stuff to but the movie was just outright funny and entertaining
Haha I guess they are both good in their own ways. Great you did both hehe.
Ohhhh and Rodrick was/is attractive. If I was younger, I'm pretty sure I would have had a crush on him!😂
Lovely to see this here. I'd always been a fan of every part in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series and the movie adaptation wasn't bad as well. This was the good old days of Disney, for real. Thanks for sharing!🌺

Among so many movies and series, Disney has its thing when it comes to the comedy genre and I like these movies a lot. I don't remember very well, since there are several of these, but the ones I remember are both entertaining and funny because of the characters and the moments and jokes it has.
Good review.
