At least the cast perfectly fit the characters. That made the movie stick true to its source material. Rodrick was the best character.
Ok
Rodrick is best boi

That's true, the characters really lived up to their stickman drawings.

I stumbled across this movie as an adult while channel surfing and this is probably one of the most hilarious kid movies I've ever watched. Greg was such a jerk, Rowley deserved so much better.
I grew up with it as a kid and loved it. My Dad watched all three movies with us and, as an adult, he loved it too and thought it was hilarious.
@@aknight6480 same. My dad loves these movies
Yes
AMEN

the main character becomes slightly better at the end of the movie in comparison to the books, but in general, this is one of the most loyal book-to-movie adaptations out there. it's not an exact copy (the girl played by chloe grace mortez isn't in the books), but it has the exact same vibe.
Yeah in the books Greg's comes off way more like a jerk
@@appropriate-channelname3049
No, I don't think so. It's hard to compare, but in the book he doesn't seem stupid either. It's not easy for him in the family
@@powerstar6501 Yeah his family is definitely.... not great. Greg is kind of a terrible person in the books though, like how he learns nothing from the bad things he does, his willingness to throw Rowley under the bus, and how he's constantly willing to do ANYTHING to be cool for like a week.
@@Elegantly_Bored Yeah due to the episodic nature of the books, Greg's character doesn't really develop much at all. It works for the comedy but when you look back it's like damn, this kid sucks.
The most unrealistic thing about this movie is the fact that Angie was able to wear a beret in school

I’m 20 and my co-worker is 21 and she is married to a 58 year old man. They have been dating for a year. I personally find the age gap gross and I overheard her talking about it. I just told her that if she needs to talk to someone or if her marriage fails then I will help her if she wants it. I think their relationship is gross. I told my sister about my day and when I told her about the age gap she flipped out. She started cussing me out for not doing more and not trying to do more about it. I told her that I talked to her and I told her I would be there for her but that wasn't enough for my sister. She wants me to physically break them up. I have talked to her multiple times but she keeps telling me to leave her alone. My sister told me that I need to stalk them and break into their house and assault the boyfriend. She said if I don’t do that she will kick me out and that if I can’t break the couple up before the month is over she will kick me out. I told her this really isn’t our business and I just want to focus on work and school but she doesn’t care and she slapped me when I said “This really isn’t our business” What should I do?
How happy are the couple?

At the end of the video, Alex literally said that everything about is movie is really good, but the movie itself is pretty weird. (Which you can't deny tbh)
Its been 12 years since i watched this movie and still dont know the meaning of wimpy
I actually feel like Rowley would be incredibly popular in a real middle school. He'd be the funny nice kid that everyone wanted to talk to
Edit: yeah I know rowley was popular in the movie, but what I mean is that he would be popular for much longer and find better friends than Greg lol

Well he sorta is that in this movie
@@jpoor1 yeah that’s true, but it only lasts for a little bit, I feel like it would go on well into highschool too
Well, probably today. Not back then. I was a lot like Rowley during my middle school days, and while plenty if kids felt comfortable around me and asked me for help sometimes when they needed it, that didn't stop me from getting teased or my kindness being taken advantage of.🙄 So, perhaps people are more welcoming of kids like Rowley now than they were back then.
Theoddsoneout has the perfect quote: “Middle school is a popularity contest and everyone’s losing”
Theoddsoneout? Do you mean the Odd 1's Out?
But I do love that quote.
As someone who read the books and watched the movies as a kid, I thought Greg was in the right (probably because he was the main protagonist). I didn't realize how much of a narcissist he was until I got older.
Me too. I rewatched the first movie 2 weeks ago with my husband and the entire time we kept saying “what a jerk this guy is”
THANK YOU!!!
Really? Even middle school me who loved the books could tell something was wrong with greg
@@awimpykidontheroadto5ksubs553 💀
I didn't realise at first either, but wow the books portray it so much better. I mean I think that's just because, unless the movie has full-time narration, we don't get a full POV of him
This most impressive thing about these Wimpy Kid films and particularly this film is the casting choices they made. I’m glad they didn’t go with what a lot of middle school based shows and films do nowadays and cast actors in their late teens to early 20s. Zachary Gordon perfectly fit the age to play Greg Heffley.
Thanks man
@@zachgordon9273 for real
@@zachgordon9273lmao
Holy shit, yes. That’s what’s been on the tip of my tongue as I’ve been watching this guys’ videos on all these kids movies I grew up watching.
What happened to actual child actors being prevalent and playing roles their age? This world is going down a dark fucking path, man. Kids are getting brainwashed with this encapsulation of mature themes. The internet is only making it worse and worse. It’s always something blatantly mature or portraying itself as “not mature”/“having teenage/child characters” despite the obvious grown ass adult actors/mature themes; it’s complete brain numbing nonsense. “Kids Shows” these days are there just to distract your child and get them out of your hair, teaching them practically nothing- no real, beneficial life lessons. Your children are basically looking at a black, blank screen, whatever it is being called “child entertainment” (for example: “Modern” SpongeBob… eugh… no remote intelligence in any aspect anymore in that shit). Either that or kids are being taught concepts and ideals they simply don’t need to know about at their age. Like gender propaganda, political views, etc., etc.- they just don’t need to know or be exposed to any of that shit.
Real
Ya know...I never would've compared this movie to Mean Girls, but once Alex said it, it totally makes sense. The style of filming and the jokes and drama is definitely similar. I wonder if any of the writers were involved in making this. Both movies are really iconic.
Best teen movie is similar to the best middle school movie.
Heres another thing about this movie. But its actually horrifying. In the scene of the kid playing a game in the middle of the school play. The actor of said kid became a murderer after shooting his mom later on in life. He regretted doing it and turned himself in.
@@Whatswrongwithmybrain This was a really uplifting story, thanks. Had a smile all day after reading this.
@@Whatswrongwithmybrain I thought that was a different kid

I would totally abuse the "cheese touch" as a kid. It would be the best superpower ever! I could block hallways on my own, go around and touch everyone's lunch, I could choose my table every time unseating whoever I want...
The fact that these kids don't go on a weird powertrip at the end of the movie tells me they have way more character than I do.
Seems like a valid plan☠️😂🤔
either that or you’re just more human. humans are surprisingly “evil”
This means Alex is legally obligated to cover the 2nd and 3rd movies

@@cattanic494 There's the original three. The first one, rodrick rules, dog days. The fourth is a reboot with a new cast. It's called Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul

@@minfires7572 Yes. It's ridiculous.
@@llawliet6262 Don't do it. It's not your decision to break them up. If anything they'll say that you're being intrusive if you try to do it (the couple). Tell your older sister that she's being abusive by hitting you and blackmailing you to make this decision. Also, how close are you to the 21 year old, if she's just an acquaintance then I don't see how you can give her advice on her own decision to marry the person.
If the 21 year old actually seems like she's being abused in the situation then give her advice only if she asks for it (as a friend, when you get to know her better). But after that there's not much you can do about them; especially if she chose to marry person.
Also, although it sounds nuts some people can be in loving relationships despite the fact that they have huge age gaps, but that actually depends on the relationship itself. Honestly, these type of relationships are rare mainly, but there are very rare cases where the people are actually in love. Besides there are different strokes for different blokes.
Also, I would suggest praying for the person too, while giving them advice if the person is actually in an abusive relationship. Because at the end of the day it comes down to the 21 year olds decision.
Tell your older sister that it's not right that she would hold your living situation over your head for not doing what she wants. Because honestly that's not right. If she does it now then she'll probably try to do it more times in the future if you let it slide.
Also, ask if her if she's okay because if she's reacting that strongly to the 21 year olds situation then there might be something triggering to her about it, and she might need to talk about it. Because maybe she has a trauma that she hasn't spoken about.
However, I'm not saying that it's an excuse for hitting you like that because it's not. If you feel really threatened by anything like that again then I'd suggest moving to your parents or other family members home because her hitting you is not okay.
However, if you guys patch things up then I'd suggest that your older sister has more open communication with you. Also, I know it isn't easy to speak up for yourself, but make sure you let her know how her reaction (the slapping and blackmailing) makes you feel.
If she disregards that and how serious it was that she did that, then just move to your other families house or back to your house with your parents because that type of behavior is abusive. And you don't deserve that.

In fairnes, the illustrations in the DoaWK books are supposed to be done by Greg. I wouldn't put it past Greg to give people he doesn't like intentionally ugly features in his journal, even to the point of it being features they don't actually have.
Something I truly love about this trilogy, is that it really feels real. The plot isn’t unrealistic and it feels like this could happen to any one, any where! The reason the books do so well is for this reason!
exactly. there is no "this random kid holds the fate of the world!" shenanigans like every Hollywood movie seems to do now, it's just a movie about a kid trying to live his life in middle school.
Tbf, the author Jeff Kinney wrote the books based on his life experiences(Greg is an exaggerated version of himself at that age, according to himself, obviously).
Like that quote about the teen bully needing to be at Cinnabon in half an hour - too real! You're the big man at the middle school, but you work minimum wage.
I had the biggest crush on the older brother when I saw this movie as a kid. Also no one talks about how this is honestly a pretty good adaptation of the book and just an overall fun kids movie.
agreed!!!!

I'd say the movie is better than the book tbh. There's a lot more personality there.

For the safety patrol part, actually safety patrol is quite cool, and people think it's cool. They get free hot chocolate in the mornings, and of course have to work in the afternoons, but not only do you get a bit of real job experience...experience as in what a real job is almost like, but you literally get to go on field trips too. I was on safety patrol many years ago, and we got to go to an amusement park and ride on rides and even get some snacks, DURING SCHOOL HOURS. Yeah, go ahead and say safety patrol isn't cool now.
5 years ago I handed out the lunches to little kids in elementary school, the ones for the poor kids, and that was considered safety patrol. I got to go on the field trips for handing out meals, during class, with my friends, while not knowing why I was doing it, because I didn’t sign up. 😂
My school didn’t even have safety patrol lmao
@@dystizmo same here
As someone currently in middle school, Alex hit the nail right on the head describing it. Kids will just randomly walk up to you, pick up your phone and start roasting your wallpaper, case, cracks in the screen, and trying to take pictures with it. It's a weird experience, like I'm just tryna make my eco friendly living room model, man.
It gets better, kid. Hang in there
I’m in middle school too and it sucks. I really miss elementary. It’s an awkward stage for everyone, for example, some kids in my class look like high schoolers and other ones look like third graders, the girls have streaks in their hair, and they hang out together and talk crap behind people’s backs. (I’m not saying that’s every girl, just some of the ones in my class) I just want to stick with my friends, skip gym, and do online school until I’m done with college. 🚶♂️..

They’ve definitely had fights after the first book, most notably in the 8th book with rowley and his girlfriend. I’d say that that book shows more imperfection in rowley then him standing up for himself though.

I always found it funny that Greg thought middle school was bad because of the age gap between kids in it, because we just have primary and high school where I’m from (in which high schools consist of 12-18 year olds).
no it's kids the same age/age group look much younger or older
I don't think he was talking about the age gap, but overall the development difference in kids similar age. You have kids who haven't got their first growth spurt vs. kids who look old enough to be a high schooler.
Everyone who knows the franchise diary of a wimpy kid knows their movies are weird but their books are amazing and that's smh most of us can agree with

I prefer the books over the movies.
Actually, I think the movies are better than the books

The books just end, and there’s often little to no effect on the next book
Book 1 Greg is basically the same as Greg now
Except in the books, Greg grows more into a psychopath……

I remember how hyped it was in school and just referenced the trailers all the time
DEVON BOSTICK IS STILL THE BEST RODRICK CASTING EVER.
fun fact : our school had the entire collection of the series , and it would always be in circulation for every 5th to 6th grade class , so much so that the cheese touch actually became a thing , I dont remeber the specifics , but they sorta turned it into a tag thing we would all play after school , genuinely a huge part of my childhood
I remember there was a "cheese touch" at my elementary school but you were immune if you had your fingers crossed. Only realized years later that they must have gotten the idea from this book.
'I don't remember the specifics, huge part of my childhood!'
Yeah ok.
Not me being jealous! 😭😭😭😭
Honestly this works a lot better than a lot of teen drama movies because middle school is FOR SURE more cliche-dramatic than high school 😂
Most treen dramas take place in high school though. And they're always dealing with very heavy stuff like sex, peer pressure, drugs, etc...
@@riddlesangerissues3127 it also usually portrays high school as more dramatic than it is, or even as the most dramatic period of school (especially with cliques and stuff), when that "honor" really goes to middle school imo
Bro Rowley didn’t just take a nibble outta that cheese, he straight gobbled it! I think he secretly wanted to lol

That aged cheddar
I find myself liking this movie more as I get older. When I was younger I heavily focused on how rude and abusive a lot of the characters were, and even though I understood it as *the point* it was still a bit upsetting to watch how mean everyone is. Now that I'm older I can acknowledge that but also notice how it's a commentary on it, not an endorsement!
@Bröther May I Have Some Lööps when did they ever say that? I mean hey i know kids that are stupid enough to act out what they see in games, dont be stupid and you're fine
@@yellowdragons04 I'm about to have a spicy chicken sandwich at school.

@@yellowdragons04 what did I say that was confusing
@@anthonydoesstuff i dont know why you're telling me that.. was it good?
As an autistic guy who grew up with an abusive step father I can say that him beating me only made me an insecure child with no self esteem whatsoever, I never got aggresive towards my schoolmates, in fact I barely had any friends because I just wanted to be alone, it left me severe psychological issues in which I feel like trash and has gotten me to toxic relationships which hurt me even more, so yeah, not every kid getting beaten by his stepfather becomes a bully
In fact writing this comment has made me feel better
I think Alex was writing from personal experience and trauma, but again, trauma is different for everyone, but it's nice that you felt better writing that comment
I really hope you’re doing better now💙
Hope you are better and that you find the right person to care about you. I hope that you are able to talk to someone and get help
🙏🏻
It was a fair generalization to make, it's not uncommon for people who are abused in one aspect of their life to become abusive in another. But it's also kind of you to talk about your own situation so people don't start to get a one size fits all mindset about people (specifically children in this case) who are abused. I'm glad writing about it made you feel better
6:10 Prolly the most backhanded compliment in kids movie history XDXD
I’m torn on who has it the “worst” in middle school…
As the movie pointed out, the boys all either look 7 or 17, then you’re judged/mocked relentlessly for it, you have to pee next to each other and your locker rooms are basically mini ThunderDome.
As for the girls……
That’s when about 98% of us have our reproductive systems turn into ticking timebombs -just waiting for the perfect nightmare scenario to make us suddenly feel like we’re dying from a burst appendix, then embarrass and traumatize us with the unexpected crimson tidal wave.
Eventually followed by the slow, horrifying realization that you’ll have to worry about this happening to you every 2-3 weeks…month in and month out…for like….another 30+ years or so….
Gawd, yeah-middle school is just the absolute worst.
I genuinely feel bad for all kids in that age bracket. It’s WAY worse than high school!! 🤣🤦♀️
Meanwhile me in my region where middle school doesn't exist: 👁👄👁
(we just go straight from elementary school to high school)
Who's having their period every 2 weeks??
@@andimcdove Irregular periods are a thing.
@@sunspotmill1291 yeah but it doesn't happen to everyone
High school was worse. I was teased on middle school, beaten up and thrown down the stairs in high school
I really enjoyed this movie and I just want to point out a few things.
1. Angie's character was totally unnecessary in this movie and she's pretty annoying, good thing she doesn't show up for the sequels.
2. Greg Heffley is a HORRIBLE friend and he doesn't deserve Rowley.
3. The Disney reboot is an actual SIN and deserves to be called a crime to this franchise.
Other than that, great movie☺️
1. Totally. She probably would have been a better character if the actress who player her could be in the sequels. She basically just disappears into thin air and it adds to the unnecessity of her character.
2. It gets hard to watch in the first movie, but in the sequels the character development is more apparent and he's only occasionally an asshole.
3. All reboots of this series are sins.
Don't disrespect chloe like that
@@mario_adv2nture Please disrespect the 4th movie tho
what reboot movie?
I HAD A CRUSH ON ANGIE TAKE IT BACK 😭
I was always confused about where Angie came from because she wasn't in the books.
& then doesn’t she just disappear in the later movies too?
I’m guessing they also wanted to appeal to girls too
@@Rodger-That putting in an unnecessary "not like the other girls" girl character doesn't widen the target demographic, so they kinda failed
But i could be biased cuz i read the books first, idk
@@ameliag.9940 you’re right it failed but I think this was the goal
I heard they did it so it wasn't just Greg and Rowley
2:03 end of ad
Thanks bro
@ no problem man
Thanks I wasn’t about to sit through that
Let’s be honest, Greg was the real villain of these movies
So true, especially towards Rowley
he was everything i hate in a human person
Yeah Greg was very antagonistic and selfish, but when compared to the Greg from the original books who was very unlikable and sociopathic, at least the Greg from the Live-Action films played by Zachary Gordon made him more likable and empathetic without being sociopathic.
I’m 20 and my co-worker is 21 and she is married to a 58 year old man. They have been dating for a year. I personally find the age gap gross and I overheard her talking about it. I just told her that if she needs to talk to someone or if her marriage fails then I will help her if she wants it. I think their relationship is gross. I told my sister about my day and when I told her about the age gap she flipped out. She started cussing me out for not doing more and not trying to do more about it. I told her that I talked to her and I told her I would be there for her but that wasn't enough for my sister. She wants me to physically break them up. I have talked to her multiple times but she keeps telling me to leave her alone. My sister told me that I need to stalk them and break into their house and assault the boyfriend. She said if I don’t do that she will kick me out and that if I can’t break the couple up before the month is over she will kick me out. I told her this really isn’t our business and I just want to focus on work and school but she doesn’t care and she slapped me when I said “This really isn’t our business” What should I do?
@@llawliet6262 You and your sister should both mind your own business. Your co-worker can do as she pleases. She's an adult and isn't hurting anyone by having a much older husband. You sound sick. Get some therapy and some dignity.
As someone who just finished middle school last year, I can say with 100% confidence that Alex depicted middle school perfectly.
Every tween had the hots for Roderick. Don't even lie to yourself
I didnt. I was grossed out by him. I never noticed he was attractive untile the first season of The 100.
@@marinadiaz1762 Yeah Roderick the character is definitely gross but the actor is a good-looking guy.
True 😂😂
Based on my observations people who simped over rodrick ended up liking Klaus from Umbrella academy.
@karolin I have the hots for Rodrick. Fanfiction about him has certainly helped with that
When you're kid, you think greg is right, but when you're older, you realize Rodrick was the most sane out of the family.
I really enjoyed the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books as a kid and thought the movie was funny when it came out when I was ten. To this day I think the actors are perfect for the characters. Honestly, I'm surprised that there are so many movies. I only remember two existing and recently learned of the animated one.
OMG GUYS, I just found a SNEAK PEEK FOR THE NEXT WIMPY KID MOVIE!!!
ruclips.net/video/nb2nFrAygxc/видео.html…
13:44 The most iconic line in the whole movie franchise
ruclips.net/video/p5fSA2t9Xfg/видео.html
So my main problem with the live-action movies is that they were too “cartoonish” and focused on potty humor, and the recent animated one was too “serious”, had a very short runtime, and didn’t take full advantage of being a cartoon. I like the books and think they can translate well to film, but they just can’t make it work in a way that benefits the medium they’re working in

'cartoonish' and 'focused on potty humor' 💀 they're for 12-14 year olds.
As a middle schooler I can confirm rodricks advice is true, I suffered my first year for these reasons and then almost lost all my friends
5:09 and guess what? For health reasons, I got a “get-out-of-gym free card” ( I named it that, but basically, I wasn’t allowed to go to P.E.) and I still got taunted about it
I am from Germany and read all of these books as a kid too and liked it a lot. What really surprised me when I saw this video is that Gregs best friend is originally called Rowely. I never realized he had a different name in the english version than in the german one (Rupert) and I dont get why they would change it in the first place, bc it isn’t even a German name…
Anyways, great video and love your channel :)
ruclips.net/video/AaSLluJRcC0/видео.html
That is so funny because in one of the books, Greg says that in his auto-biography he'll change Rowley's name to Rupert
@@liptasamantray8980 no, he showed a picture of the book page saying something like "i used to live next to a kid. his name was like rupert or something"
I know a couple German people who are called Rupert🤔
This is one of my favorite Diary of A Wimpy Kid adaptations and even though it's Live-Action it does capture the Spirit and humor of the original books by Jeff Kinney, not to mention the actors playing the characters are perfectly casted especially Rodrick.
Even it's worth noting that this film was my introduction to Chloë Grace Moretz's work as an actress and that the character she played in the film, Angie was created specifically in the film and wasn't in the original book.
the chokehold the cheese-touch had on children in 2010 is insane
Alex: Time for the worst class that everyone hates especially in middle school, PE.
Me who’s in middle school: *Gets to do whatever we want and everyone wanting to go to gym everyday*
This movie is entirely responsible for making me fall for emo boys with eye liners.....take some responsibility rodrick!!!

It did!

I like how you used the breath of the wild opening music for when chiral explained the cheese touch
I feel like rowly is the best cause he’s so carefree that his life is much better than Greg’s because he doesn’t have as much anxiety.
12:51 i love how you made the last kid spontaneously combust, hilarious edit 😭💀

I’m still convinced Angie was a shared hallucination between Greg and Rowley.
How would she be a hallucination if patty was able to talk to her at the end of the first movie
11:13
Greg: Guess what else has one strap..... *Machine Guns*
Alex: So, guess what were bringing to school tomorrow.

Greg is sus
I'm guessing you didn't hear what Greg's actor did then

Wimpy Kid is definitely weird, but I actually loved it. I was actually too old for it, and I never read the books, but I really like the characters. I legit laughed my butt off, and I wasn’t expecting that.

I firmly believe that this is a movie trilogy, and theres nothing else after dog days

There’s the long haul but it’s horrible Alicia Silverstone is good in it though
@@dt355 that movie doesn’t exist 👀
ruclips.net/video/AaSLluJRcC0/видео.html
I like how Greg is depicted in these 3 films.From the beginning he’s definitely the average person who just wants to fit in and be accepted.He clearly does care about Rowley, but he doesn’t make the right choices, however I can’t blame him for trying to get Rowley to not say “come over and play” out loud.He makes a lot of bad choices this film, but for one his brother is constantly telling him things that influence his idea of how to act, and his parents aren’t particularly there for him.
In the second he’s clearly learned lessons, because this time he is quite a good friend to Rowley but learns to get along with Roderick and even volunteers to be Rowleys assistant to help him.
In the third he tries to make his dad proud and to seduce Holly, but shows serious change such as when the scout master asks who did this he doesn’t let his friends take the blame, he immediately tells him that he did.And at the end he’s fixed his relationship with his friend, become more selfless and responsible, and he’s worked his way up to getting towards a relationship with Holly.
Yep I love these movies! And you described Greg to a tee! 😊
10:02 he dropped like 20 pds in like a second
Y'know, Alex, you'd make an AMAZING horror movie reviewer. You posted on a community post that you didn't really know what to do once you run out of movies, and so maybe you could do horror movies and TV series's? I'd love to see a review on IT.
The first three movies (and the actual books themselves) are literally so iconic. Idk what the hell that fourth one was tho, we don’t talk about that one…
Simple. The original child actors were officially too old to keep going on as the characters, so they had to recast.
Long Haul was one of the best books in the entire series. The movie added so much unnesicary stuff.
@@videohistory722 Changing actors doesn’t bother me, my thing is that the movie was complete shit
ruclips.net/video/AaSLluJRcC0/видео.html
@@jayngb Agreed, but apparently, the casting crew wasn't great so they didn't get very good actors in the first place, and the main kids were really hard to work with.
Fair enough, since they're kids, but there have been so many great child actors out there and the ones in the fourth film weren't good at all. At least I've heard the twins playing Manny in Long Haul weren't as difficult as the ones in the first few films.
Ya know what has one strap?! Machine guns!
Alex: now skipping ahead a little bit
Me: and we are off to a whole different style flick.
😂😂😂
Rewatching this movie as a Canadian in highschool made me die inside because at that point; I knew someone who acts and looks like patty.
I really have to remember that "weird" doesn't always mean "bad." And yeah, if you haven't seen this movie, I can definitely recommend it. Also, I think the reason it's so weird is because, well, middle school and middle schoolers are weird. Y'know?
Fr weird is kind of a compliment who wants to be plain and do everything like everybody else does when you can be weird instead Weird can be a bad thing yes but it also can be a good thing depending on what you’re weird for
Most of the cool kids in my school are just fucking weird, we’re all gremlins in Britain
@@dsnever3041y’all got gremlin looking teeth too.
3:43 As an Indian man, I salute you for pointing this out
Idk how but the “how to be a cool teenager” video from the movie was just erased from my memory lmao
They really looked at Rodrick and thought “what if this basketball head emo kid with sticks for hair was hot”
If he thinks this is bad, I can’t wait to see him watch Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul 🤢
I can't wait to see him get an aneurism from that
He said at the end he thought it was good and he liked it.
The psycho family in that movie was funny.
Is that even a movie?
Huh what is that movie
