    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.

      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.

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.

    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

      @@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.

      @osmanyousif7849 Год назад +12

      @@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.

    The first one was by far the best, the second one was still a masterpiece, this one was still really good,but the fourth one was a train wreck
    Nevertheless, this gives me a lot of nostalgia lol

      People hate the long haul movie but the Long Haul Book is one of the best in the whole series. They added unnecessary crap in that movie. Like making the Birds family actually act like villains and the stupid meme.

    The 1st movie is a classic that brings back so much nostalgia for me. I was in middle school when this was coming out. So it's like I'm looking back just how Greg is.

    At 4:51 when he says “Can you believe I didn’t get a real girlfriend until I was 21” no I can’t believe he got a girlfriend that early.

    "The stuff that girls are actually into is stuff like stories about horrendous murders and pimple popping videos..."
    Okay, as a female who has always loved horror/thriller movies, true crime and pimple popping...I feel very called out right now 😳😅
