Like I said before, I’m a kid at heart. I love animated movies and any movies suitable for children. It’s something I can watch and not worry if something inappropriate will “show up” and make my eyes bleed knowing my kids saw something that wasn’t for their innocent eyes (I’m really referring to my 6 y/o – the other two know more than I think they know!).
The one movie I did enjoy and saw dozens of times with my kids was Diary of a Wimpy Kid, based on the best-selling book series by Jeff Kinney, where Greg Heffley (Zachary Gordon) is starting his first year of middle school, is much smaller than the average kid at his school and gets picked on by his annoyingly older brother, Rodrick (Devon Bostick). Things that happen to a middle-school student can’t get any worse than what Greg goes through.
In my opinion, it’s a film that everyone would enjoy. When Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules was out in theatres, I took my girls, bought a large popcorn and a large drink and sat through the whole movie without getting up! We LOVED it.
After the movie, my girls were already asking if we could buy the Blu-ray. So of course I said yes.
I’m happy to say that Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules is out on DVD and Blu-ray everywhere TODAY!
Woo-hoo! What a way to start the summer, huh?
Here’s a synopsis of the movie: Just back from summer vacation, Greg Heffley (Zachary Gordon, National Treasure: Book of Secrets) and his friend Rowley (Robert Capron, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice) enter the next grade as undersized weaklings in their school. A bully favorite, Greg tries not to get noticed by anyone except the pretty new girl, Holly Hills (Peyton List, 27 Dresses). And at home, Greg is still at war with his older brother, Rodrick (Devon Bostick, “Degrassi”), until their mom Susan (Rachael Harris, The Hangover) instigates a ‘Mom Bucks’ program so Greg and Rodrick can earn play money by doing chores and—gasp!—being nice to each other.
Calamity ensues when their parents return from vacation and dad Frank (Steve Zahn, A Perfect Getaway) finds evidence that Rodrick secretly threw a houseparty with his band, Löded Diper. As they struggle with school and compete for ‘Mom Bucks,’ the brothers discover that avoiding trouble is easier if they unite—and their once-twisted partnership grows into a hilariously playful and sometimes mischievous friendship.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules will be available on single-disc DVD, 2-disc DVD, and 3-disc Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy and includes the crazy adventures Greg and his friends has over the summer with hilarious all-new “My Summer Vacation” shorts not seen in theaters.
