honestly "be the parent you wish your parent had been" is great advice. part of me wants to have a kid just so i can know that somebody grew up with enough emotional support and understanding to keep their life together as an adult
give it my bank account?
The replies didnt have abusive parents and it shows
Same
Yeah I think it’s generally good advice. But also don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Like if it took you too long to change your kid’s diaper or you forgot a kid’s [insert thing here] is tomorrow, then it’s fine. Psychologists say that having some bad experiences is good for someone’s developmental growth. Also raise your kid to be kind.
Wait I thought everyone just knew this advice?
Roderick Rules a cinematic masterpiece and him just calling it "whatever" is a sin in itself I am distraught over this and might cry myself to sleep
I agree it’s a fantastic movie
Honestly, it’s a good movie in general.
I’ll get the pitchfork and torches
@@alphariusomegon3965 I’ll get the rpg!
Rodrick was by far the most sane one in his dysfunctional family(in comparison)
In every movie he learns a new thing.
Movie 1-How to be a better friend
Movie 2-How to be a better brother
Movie 3-How to be a better son
a better dad? you mean better son
@@lolaishot oh thanks
that why part 3 is my fav because I watch it when I young in the theater with my dad.

@joshygothajuice2070it was edited
Having read the books i can draw one conclusion
Rodrick was cast perfectly
Devon Bostick - Rodrick is one of those perfect casting calls that gets made every so often. Where you can't imagine anyone else playing them and you'll always associate the actor with the character and vice versa.
Like Alan Rickman - Snape. Or Ewan McGregor - Obi wan Kenobi.
@@dddgaming885 or rickman as the metatron.
@@dddgaming885 or Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark
@@venomous8700 yeah

I liked that Greg actually kinda has a friend group here (Rowley, Chirag, and Fregley) and seems to regard them as actual people, compared to the books where it is just rowley and he abuses him
Also book Greg would never forgive Rowley for lying about the country club lol
Greg actually have a character development in these movies which i enjoyed
Movie Greg Is Definetely Better Than Book Greg
@@shirairyugrandmaster92yeah but the books are always better
book greg was actually insane
He kind of has a friend group in the books they didn’t make movies on it’s just that none of them are really close to eachother and kind of just hang out together out of convenience
I like how Greg and Rodrick seem to get on better after the last movie, and don't antagonise each other as much. Yay for character development!
I know so many kids movies/shows ignore character development, even as a kid this frustrated me
One of the best parts about Dog Days tbh.
I *think* they even carried that over to Long Haul, where they don't bicker much, and even enjoy being at the fair together.
(I could be totally wrong about the above. It's been like 5 years since I saw it and honestly I tried to forget about it as much as I could.)
This is off topic, but I love your profile pic
I think it’s just growing up cause I’ve had childhood friends like that tbh
I mean yeah, keeping a secret about a bathroom door is the best way to get along better
"Greg has been lying to everyone about everything the whole time" thats it that's the whole series
LMAOOO
is that why people hate greg
@@BrimmySP yes
@@damarisc5688 oh
💯😩🤣
This movie follows the books most faithfully. The books are literally just a bunch of small developments that happen in this guys life, but jumbled together since it's supposed to be written chronologically. They rarely have a single plot thread throughout, and that's realistic because most of us never have just one thing going on. We have multiple worries and developments to worry about.
ON POINT
We’re on the same page
Diary of a Wimpy Kid was my guilty pleasure in middle school. Something about Greg's narcissistic/nihilistic attitude resonated with him - he felt 100x more real than other middle school protagonists.
Honestly, I feel like there kinda WAS a point to this movie. The first movie focused on Greg bettering his relationship with Rowley, the second on bettering his relationship with his brother, and his third is about him bettering his relationship with his dad.
Unlike the books, Greg has his voice change and sorta gets the girl, which is actually really wrong because Greg is basically in that pre pubescent purgatory that wimpy kids relate to.

The Diary Of A Wimpy Kid trilogy (yes, trilogy. The Long Haul doesn't count) is easily the best adaptation of a book series I've ever seen. The movies by themself may not be anything special but the movies as an adaptation are. It's very rare that you see an adaptation that is this exact to the original source material and that's why I love these movies so much
Ever watched Harry Potter? Just wondering cause those are imo best adaptation
@@comebackstealing5913 also lord of the rings trilogy
@@comebackstealing5913 I've watched the movies but I've never read the books so I don't know how the two compare. Meanwhile, I lived off the DOAWK books as a child and grew up up with the movies as they were coming out
@@comebackstealing5913 While the Harry Potter movies are great, I'm not sure if they would be considered good adaptations from the OP's point of view since they start to deviate from the books more and more as the series progresses. The first two movies are very close to the books. The rest of them, not so much.
I don't think a movie needs to be just like the source material to be considered a good adaptation. Movies and books are different mediums. Some things may work in one format and not so much in the other. Knowing what to remove or change is essential. A good adaptation for me transforms the book into the best cinematic experience possible without betraying what made the book special in the first place.
@@comebackstealing5913 Ong these guys must be joking
This is the perfect trilogy and I won't have any slander. The casting is perfect and you feel like these people could be a real family. In each Greg has character development and growth. He learns a lesson in each. It has great advice for people Greg's age
Also Holly Hills in this movie was every middle/high school kids dream girl
Exactly.
Does that include Rodricks advice to Greg on Greg’s first day in middle school?😅
@@SudhatriMuluka Uh of course. That's just middle school one o one
Missed opportunity to talk about the cinematic MASTERPIECE that was Rodricks legendary cover of “baby”
Because of that I wrote a YA romance.
it was an absolute masterpiece and I'm glad someone sees the talent. lmao
Devon Bostick should've won an Emmy for that
This is easily the best movie to me. The summer vibes, the development, the production quality, all just top notch. Also, I get a crazy amount of nostalgia from this. 9/10
I watch this movie like 1 million times!!! This movie is my childhood!

"Like Rodrick just kinda exists and does nothing" DUDE HE WAS THE BACKBONE OF THESE FILMS
YESSSS
Right like this dudes is just negative on everything
You can tell Greg's actor hit his growth spurt halfway through filming this.
it was ppl like u that made them change the actors in the forbidden movie
lol yes but it actually is good bc it makes the films seem like there's actually time going by. When I read the books in elementary school I thought he was like stuck in the 6th grade for the entire series
@@oliviadavis3638 yes for some reason Greg starts in fifth grade goes to sixth grade then stays in sixth grade for like 15 years
@@irenaveksler1935 hahaha
@@irenaveksler1935more probably, the entire series takes place for about 7-12 years
I absolutely loved these movies as a kid. I still do, also Rodrick is by far the best character in the movies lol
Agree x100000
tbh rodrick doesn’t get enough credit 💀 in the movies sometimes he’s actually decent toward greg
@@8888EACHDIVIN1TY In the books he isn't even that bad. In my opinion.
Roderick carried the franchise for sure
Hottest for no reason
Honestly can we talk about how Zachery Gordon was perfect casting for playing Greg. Like he just acts as Greg in such a perfectly awkward and nerdy way that’s so perfect for his character.
even rodrick
To be honest the entire cast is perfect
As a girl, I can confirm that I practically solely watch documentaries and podcasts about horrific murders.

Gosh the military school threat was actually a huge thing in my house. Either that or a scared straight program. My parents would threaten to send me to one all the time for stupid reasons. I remember one time I forgot to do the dishes and then my dad yelled at me and made me look up military schools in my area and then made me pick the one. That freaking traumatized me 💀😂
Thankfully my parents didn't do that but they would threaten me with boarding schools and summer schools
But the funny thing is they made me pick all girls boarding schools and now I'm a lesbian
Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days in my opinion is the best of the Trilogy here's my reasons:
1.Greg and Rodrick are true Bros for one another.
2.Greg and his Dad bond in Summer Camp.
3.The Cranium Shaker scene was hilarious plus my cousins rode on it in real life at a fair ground.
also its the best because its strung together the same way the actual books were
Yeah this one is my favorite of the franchise
Wait trilogy? Isn’t there a fou-
@@adrielcruz2736 What do you mean? There's three. And only three....
dont forget the i love you because scene
Honestly I really liked how Greg and Holly actually maintained a good relationship despite many obstacles like Patty also being friends with Holly and Holly finding out Greg lied
Peyton is a great actress too
From Holly to Emma in Jessie to Tory in Cobra Kai
yess
I love her in Cobra Kai. Tori is the complete opposite of Holly and it's strange to go back and watch DoAWK after seeing her role in Cobra Kai.
The reason for the vignette style presentation of the movies is that it's based on the book series by the same title, and in it the different stories were told through journal entries from different days, so the vignettes make sense. The first movie tried to make those into a more cohesive narrative, at least to me, while after that the movies became more direct adaptations, just taking the bigger stories and slapping them together
If you really think about it rodrick was the only normal one through the entire series. He was always portrayed as the mean older brother when all the things he did were mostly harmless pranks
Literally though, like everyone else in the family is legitimately a terrible person. Meanwhile Roderick is just at best a fun guy, and at worst a bit of a dick.
And I mean the latter is something he'll probably grow out of when he's older.
Rodrick did nothing wrong, i will die on this hill
Yeah that's one of the best parts of this series (and the books), it's all from Greg's POV and people like Rodrick and Patty aren't actually that bad when you see more of them
💯😩🥰
@@Ep8Script I'd go further: none of them are as bad as Greg portrays them.
Greg is exaggerating things (or leaving some things he feels make him look bad) out, and we're none the wiser to what really happened because this entire story is told to us by him. His dad wasn't really ripping wires out of the TV (or maybe he was, but because Greg did something FAR worse than spend a day gaming), however throughout the events of Dog Days, Greg is annoyed with his father and portraying him accordingly.
This would also explain why Greg seems to interact so little with Holly when he has the chance: he is, he's just awkwardly turning most of their interactions into cringefests, so he leaves most of them out.
EDIT: Also I feel Greg is rather self-critical. There's no reason why anyone would at all like the kind of person Greg sells himself as, so it seems likely he's a decent, regular person (with a perchance for lying sometimes) with an habit of being self-critical. So basically, I think everyone in DoaWK is a normal person, we're just seeing the world as Greg sees it, biases very much included.
OK, but Devon Bostick as Roderick made this series entirely enjoyable - he's honestly hilarious! (I also kinda liked the family dynamic. Somehow they really did feel like a family!)
Greg:a sociopath/narcissist
Manny:a highly intelligent psychopath
Frank:dead beat dad who doesn’t care about his kids
Susan:karen who favors manny for some dumb reason
Rowley:innocent
Rodrick:the only normal one
also rodrick: the best one
Steve Zahn's performance as Frank in this movie is genuinely hilarious and the best part of this movie
Yes
Greg: A sociopath
Manny: A demonic spawn from h-e double hockey stick
Mom: A Karen
Dad: A Boomer
Rodrick: Kind of normal I guess
Rowley: Teen-Child
Rodrick: an emo
@@mshaw1002 which is very normal for his age
@@KoopalingMayhem I guess
Greg’s also a narcissist
The whole point of doawk is that its basically the world’s most unfortunate middle schooler writing about all the shit that comedically goes down in his life. It makes sense that there are like 10 plotlines because its supposed to be about a life where everything that can go wrong does. Thats why these stories are so enjoyable.
most controversial thing this man has ever said, og wimpy kid was better than rodrick rules, absolute travesty
Get the pitchforks, seriously the focus on roderick makes it the best.
IKR. If anything, the first one is mid because Greg is such an asshole, but they tone it down in Rodrick Rules and he's actually bearable

😭
Bro my mum threatened me with one because the neighbors high school sons were sent to one cuz they were troublemakers.... I WAS IN ELEMENTARY
"Why don't you put your phone number down too!"
"Okay!"
What planet does this movie take place on?
Honestly, if they wanted to adapt the Wimpy Kid book series, they should have done a TV series where every book or 2 is is a season. But considering how the series still ain't over, who knows when it'll end with Greg Heffley finally learning for once.
Those book to tv series are always low key terrible, but I really wonder what it would look like with this series.
@@superultragiggachigga , personally I think it would take sort of a Seinfeld/Ed, Edd n Eddy route. You can have Greg, Rowley, or any other characters doing all sorts of shenanigans similar to in the book, yet every route they take turns into disaster at the end of every episode, with Greg not learning his lesson. Let’s start with book one for example. The episodes can each be about events that happened during each month (September-May).
First 1-2 can be about Greg having to settle in middle school.
Second can be events taking place on Halloween (including the gang chasing them).
Third can be about Greg join wrestling and the school play.
Fourth can be about Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
Fifth can be about Greg breaking Rowley’s arm, joining Independent Study and Safety Patrol.
Sixth can be the snowball incident and joining the cartoon newspaper.
Seventh can be about Greg lying to Rowley about the Safety Patrol incident, getting kicked off, and their friendship is broken.
Eighth will be Rowley and new friends and Greg thinking about whether or not he need him anymore.
And the ninth will be about Greg seeing Rowley getting more popular than he is, leading to the two to fight, only for the gang from Halloween to return and make Rowley eat the c****e, but Greg takes the blame for it and the two’s friendship.
Altogether, that’s about 11 to 12 episodes, some of them probably will get split into two segments. But that’s the general premise for each season. But depending on how author Jeff Kinney wants to end the series, Will probably the more difficult choice, since the final book needs to be Greg learning his lesson or not.
@@osmanyousif7849 that sounds cool I wish we got that instead not that I didn’t enjoy the movies for what they were
Maybe they could’ve done that with the animated movie they did
@@MeMarcusTheCreator , well look where that went. And I haven’t heard any news about the creators wanted to go further yet. But I’d rather wait until Jeff Kinney finishes the book series and tries to gives Greg Heffley and many more their characters arcs and some proper closure to the series as a whole.

What I find slightly silly, is the main character is like pushing 16 at this point. You can tell the production is trying hard to keep him in that wonder years 14-15, but they can't stop puberty.
No Greg’s actor was 11-12 in the first one and 12-13 in the second and 13-14 in Dog Days. Not 16 at all. Also middle schoolers typically are not 15.
He was born in 1998 so that means he was 12,13, and 14 during the trilogy. Get your facts right

I’ll be honest, I’m in my twenties now and saw these movies as a kid. Personally, I loved it. It somehow all just made sense. These kids are in middle school, that’s what love was like for then introverts like me. You kinda just walk home together or make small talk and that’s about it. There’s a cool person you look up to, a friend who’s very different yet compatible. These just made sense even though I never had money for a summer camp let alone country club. I even found the Fred movies funny. These just make sense when you’re 12-14.
I think for the majority the spurts of crushes that we had in middle school was admiration from afar or small awkward moments that were really innocent and sweet looking back as a young adult.
Someone should have told him that it was books into a live action adaptation so we can understand That even the books were like that
NO NO NO, WE NEEDED YOU TO INCLUDE THE FULL SCENE OF RODRICK SINGING BABY CAUSE THAT WAS THE ONLY SCENE THAT I FELT MADE THIS MOVIE WORTH WATCHING 😭😂😂

The Diary of a Wimpy Kid trilogy is a masterpiece
All 3 of these movies are cinematic masterpieces 1.they relate to the books 2. There just funny and 3. The acting is so well done 100000000/10 for all these movies
I personally liked all 3 movies, but I must say Dog Days was a bit underwhelming at first, and yes, it is all over the place. Rodrick wanting Heather Hills made more sense because in the book, it was Greg who wanted to impress her, after he spent two books fawning over her sister.
In my opinion Dog Days was the best diary of a wimpy kid movie in the entire franchise. By the way smoothies at that country club cost $43.33 each
Are those smoothies loaded with some expensive French champagne or something? Lmao
Lmaoooo. I get they wanted to really give off an 'expensive and luxurious' impression but geez.
Christ Almighty, those drinks better be laced with angel dust or something
nah my favourite were the long haul the gate away the old school actually i loved all of it
Why do I get the feeling most parents who go “Stop playing those stupid video games and go outside!” Or that people who make a living making RUclips videos should go and get a really job are secretly just jealous that they didn’t have that kind of luxury when they were kids?
7:20-7:25 Honestly the best scene for Susan Heffley
I may not always agree with her, but she was totally right to call Frank out here
I just realised that the actor who plays Greg's mom in this movie also plays the therapist (Linda) in Lucifer.
i remember her from the hangover
Steve Zahn (Frank) was in Tall Girl 2 and did voice work for Dr. Dolittle.
Wow, i love linda, and linda is way nicer than gregs mom, but she is well acted.

4:35 If a 200 page theory about digimon being a allegory about the loss of innocence that happens as one moves in to there teenage years and the regret that adults have about feeling like they wasted their childhood because they were so obsessed with growing up too quickly doesn't woo the girls I don't know what will.
I dont think that, but i apreciate the seriousness digimon and its surprisibg dark themes and even existencialism are dealt with.
Ok this one definitely dropped the ball, but rodrick rules is dope man. It may not be the same theme as the first one, kind of a look back at middle school from the lens of a nostalgic adult- but it captures the older brother younger brother relationship better than any movie for kids I’ve ever seen.
This one is awesome too
I just found your channel after your Velma video, and I'm so in love with your video style 🤣🤣. The crackhead level energy is top notch and very authentic.

Okay, as a female who has always loved horror/thriller movies, true crime and pimple popping...I feel very called out right now 😳😅
I feel called out too- I don't watch pimple popping videos but I love gorey horror stories :D
“Girls like stories about horrific murders and pimple popping”
I feel attacked… Did this man look at my watch history?
I find it funny how alot of complaints of the movies are elements of the books that were given praise the journal format of random events the movies try to give the characters arcs and that's why the long haul stands out so much its because it essential reverses Greg back to the first movie again
13:03 What was what my grandpa used to say? "When did they start letting those people in the pool?" Hahaha!! WOW! 😆 😂 I laughed SOO loud! Same with when he looked in the yearbook and the girls phone number wasn't finished 😅
I agree that the third movie is more childish in a sense BUT when you think about it, the entire thing is meant to come from a teenage boys diary. Read ANYONES diary (especially at that age) and it'll essentially be like this movie bc of the inconsistency lol. ALSO Love this channel so much bc 1. He's hilarious and 2. he watches the dumb movies/shows so I don't have to🤣
Teenage boy is a stretch, I would say a preteen boys perspective. Since the series starts with an 11-year-old Greg and recounts his 3 years spent in middle school. I think it ends there since if the character were to get any older, it would lose it's general feel.
4:21 has anyone else notised that he just hold the popcorn all the time and never eats it🤣
Lol
When reading the books and growing older... I realized Rodrick was the normal one, Greg is a narcissist and or sociopath, Manny is just a manipulative pain the Mum is a narcissist too and the Dad is just there, not that bad tbf
I wonder if Greg was always like that or if Manny being born and getting all of Frank and Susan's time (and eventually being a manipulative little weasel) caused him to become more obsessed with attention and popularity.
Igreg is too young to say he is that. But rodrick is better emotional ajusted and ok i believe greg eventually grows out of that and has issues from his mom?!
But yeah rodrick is bae
@@marocat4749 Apparently signs of narcissism can show at 2yrs old. Greg is what? 13? He could definitely be old enough. ASPD can show signs at 3, and be monitored.
I thought this movie was alright. Like as an adaptation I think it works. The books are sorta stuck in time and Greg doesn’t have a lot of dynamic movement so as an adaptation for the book fans, I think it does a great job.
"Evil Warlock Punishes Gingers" 😂😂
I totally agree with you Alex. The first movie almost gives off the same vibes the show Ned’s Declassified did; funny and still appealing to an adult audience. I hate it when they dumb down a series when they can make it relatable with some slightly exaggerated antics.
That's not what happened. The Books are supposed to be a series of random events that are loosely connected to make it feel like an actual kid's diary. It can be hare to adapt that into a movie. Because movies have more of a 3 act structure.
@@icecreamhero2375 I get that. But they dumbed it down bc the book material was still open enough to interpretation where they could make the events sequential and add stuff in between to make it flow. The diary entry method would work better for TV episodes, not a movie where things have to be continuous.
@@RoKer13 I get your point, but for me and many people, this worked fantastically as a movie, and it did have a continuous main plot of trying to win over Holly and fix things with his Dad
@@oklol7799 Don't get me wrong, I still liked this movie, but the first one just seems more fleshed out to me. Anything with the original cast I would still watch.
I don't know what people are talking about - there are only 3 Diary Of A Wimpy Kid movies. Only 3. That's it.
I honestly can’t even believe he skipped when Greg spun the thing when Rowley played “I love you beacuase” and Greg landed on Rowleys dad.
"When did they start letting those people in to our public pools" got me lol.
Gotta say, after a two-year covid pandemic and with a possible monkeypox pandemic around the corner, seeing Rowley's family share the same ice cream cone felt like Tom Six had directed a Disney Channel original movie for a second there.
You know... if its your family theres no point in trying to be safe. If they got it, you definetly have it too. Its inevitable
2:40
Dad: Summer is meant for healthy stuff. like, uhhhh....... Swimming.
Me: (In a bacteria infested pool with human excrement, pizza, eclairs, diapers (not the loaded type) and god knows what else... Really dad that is healthy???)
"Have a great summer. You are such a good friend" SO generic and Greg basically thought he was in based on that...she probably left the phone number unfinished because she couldn't think of a fake one fast enough 😂
Alex: Dog day's is embarrassingly dumb
Wimpy kid Long haul: Am I a joke to you!?
I will say, it seems like a series of small stories because that’s how the books were.
I see your point when you said you would have liked the movies to age up with the characters, and I would agree that the sequels aren't as great as the original; however, I think the lack of character growth is the point. People aren't going to permanantly change overnight, and there is beauty in Greg having to continiously relearn the same lessons about family and being less selfish. Too many movies and tv shows have characters go through full character arcs and never have a moment where they struggle to actually stick with the change, but Greg definitely does not only because he is human but also because he's a kid. Good video!
I think there is some clear character development though. Also I think the second and third movies are way better than the original
There’s some development with Greg and Rodrick because they start getting along after Rodrick Rules and Greg stops antagonizing him so much.
