Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes
Watched With: Myself

Aka "a kid is embarrassed, the sequel."

This on doesn't have Chloe Moretz. But it does have Fran Kranz. Albeit in a nothing role. Obviously I'm not the target audience for this one, all the stuff I liked I doubt any kids would get the references too anyway. The Partridge Family cut away gag was funny, mainly because Steve Zahn sells it so well.

And they made a hilariously (and far too authentic looking for kids to appreciate) bad 70's horror film that the kids watch on dvd called The Foot. That thing is a work of art.

They also keep the nice little snippets of stick figure animation and even integrate them into the live action in the opening, I like stuff like that.

Apart from that it's more of the same from the first one. It's not horrifically offensive as far as children's entertainment though. (Probably not as enjoyable as the first either.) Good thing they made the sequel so soon after the first one and kept the same cast, those kids won't be 11 forever.
