12/17/12: Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days

I had heard really good things about the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books so when I had the opportunity to review the movie I knew the kids would like it.  Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days Releases TOMORROW on Blu-ray and DVD!

I really enjoyed the movie.  It was a fun movie of a kid who loved to play video games and had dreams of staying in all summer to play them have a great time outdoors having fun with friends and a girl he has a crush on.  Plus folding in some great Dad and Son time in between.

 It is always funny to watch someone play Tennis that really doesn't know how to play.  It gave the kids some laughs.

All the characters are pretty likable and my kids really enjoyed the movie.  I liked it too.  It definitely is a fun movie to watch and now my son wants to read the books.
