Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010) starring Zachary Gordon. Greg Heffley (Gordon) enters middle school with no idea what it takes to be "cool." In fact, he already thinks he's pretty cool (he would never describe himself as a wimp), it's just a matter of getting the rest of the world to recognize it. Unfortunately, it's his dorky best friend Rowley who climbs the vine of popularity, while Greg's stock just continues to sink lower and lower. Naturally, it all resolves itself in the end. This movie is OK entertainment, but it definitely lacks depth. It seems clearly targeted at tweens -- kids the same age as the kids in the film. Everything is kept simple -- too simple, for my adult tastes. The subtitles are OK, kind of hard to read. Grade: C+
