Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules

I mean it’s alright, I didn’t like the voice actors for Greg and Rodrick. They did play lacrimosa which gave me HXH vibes

Rodrick crying at the end because of greg replacing him in loded diper hit me hard. Damn you greg.

Not like the book and boring

To be honest, I was enjoying this more than the first one for a good chunk of it. I thought the interactions between Greg and Rodrick were pretty good, and it feels like it had more of a real plot than the first one, where things just kind of happen. It had the same flaws as the first one, with good but soulless animation and the performances being pretty uninteresting, but I was enjoying it.

Unfortunately, it gets SO CRINGE at the end. Like, even for a hastily made kid’s movie. They try to shoehorn in some messaging that feels so out of character and strange, and it’s super awkward to watch. They wanted a moral to the story, but couldn’t figure out a convincing way to make that happen, so they just decided to make it unconvincing.

Manny the goat tho
