My son (9.5) loves Diary of a Wimpy kid books and the movie lived up to his expectations. My daughter (7) who has not read the books loved it as well! We all laughed throughout the movie. I even took my mother and she liked it as well. But a warning to the parents...if you can not remember how to laugh at gross boy humor then don't try to rate or review this movie...It is about boys and the things they do on a daily basis! ENJOY!!!!
