This movie is probably the most realistic out of the main 3 of the series, especially regarding family matters. Very funny and a great movie for all ages!

If the original Wimpy Kid excelled because of the misfortunes of its main character, then "Dog Days" satisfies by leaning ever harder into that. One of my quibbles with this movie series is that Greg Heffley is more of a jerk than just hapless, but the writers make up for it with the level of misadventures.It's funnier than the original because his dad has ore involvement; which means more Steve Zahn, who really runs with it. The guy's a scream.7/10

I've read all of Jeff Kinney's books in the Diary Of A Wimpy Kid series and particularly enjoyed the drawings. I was a bit skeptical about a movie based on Kinney's book but I must say the director, David Bowers, did a commendable job. The same applies to the actors who in a way manage to resemble the drawings in the books, not necessarily in physical appearance but more so in character. There are some clever and funny jokes throughout the story. One that is particularly amusing is when Greg loses his shorts while diving into the pool of the country club and finds himself naked in the pool. The various scenes with the family dog are funny too, and so are the situations involving Rowley and Rowley's parents. Enjoyable for the young and for the not so young anymore!

Watched this with the kids today and i don't know...i'm thinking the best one was the first book to movie adaptation that i liked better anyways. It was OK and my son who reads the books wasn't totally impressed either. Greg our main character is about to chuck the school books and get ready for his summer vacation...you know the hard life of everyday video gaming whilst older brother Roderick sleeps like a bear. That is until dad (Steve Zahn) has something to say about it. This leads Greg in desperation in what to do.. once again using Wimpy buddy Rowley so he gain access to Rowley's mother's pool and day spa club most of all to spend time with new love interest Holly Hills ( Peyton List) which ends him up in a whole heap of trouble especially when older brother aka chief antagonist Roderick ( Devon Bostick) gets wind of it and demands that he will tell his father of his secrets unless Greg also sneaks him in.Not a bad film and probably a good family film for those that have enjoyed the others in this series however er the movies are running weakly on my son (A fan of the books) and myself so don't think we will be taking in anymore.
