My kids love the "Wimpy Kid" book series and my husband and I were very excited when we saw the movie was coming out. We were a bit unnerved when we found out the movie was going to be live-action instead of animated--we didn't think it would work. Fortunately, we were dead wrong! This movie was entertaining for all of us! I recommend this movie for kids going through middle school, for kids preparing for middle school and adults that have survived middle school!
