I took my eight-year-old son who has read all the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. We have been looking forward to the release of the movie, had the date on our calender and went the night it was released. It was well worth the anticipation. Absolutely hilarious. My son and I both cracked up throughout. This movie ended up sending a good message in the end. About true friendship and about the things that truly matter in life. Would highly, highly recommend it!
