My 9 year old begged me to take him to this movie from the day he heard it would be released. He had read all the books and loves them. We went on the 1st showing day. I admit I was surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did. The humor was appropriate for my son but something adults (who remember middle school) could relate to as well. My son said he really hopes they make a movie for all the books. I do too!
