In the late 2000s and early 2010, the book Dnevnik series "Kid Dnevnik" series Effef Kinney was a force to be considered. Told from the point of view of the Greg Hefley High School, Readers would look at the illustrated records in Greg magazine that documented his accidents with his family, his best friend Rowley Effeeferson and his eccentric classmates. Greg is the first unreliable (and, in some cases, incredible) protagonist. Although Kinney does not believe that Greg is a sociopathThe character shows a surprising amount of narcissism for a teenager, often taking advantage of his family and friends if he serves his interests to become rich and famous - even if his schemes are usually raised in the face to a comical effect.
Effef Kinney's news to write and illustrate humorous, yet relatively high school experiences have attracted both readers and viewers. With 19 books published and over 290 million copies sold, "Vimima's Child Diary" is the fourth best -selling series of books of all time, creating four live films by action, Three animated filmsand musical adaptation. (I suppose Greg Hefley after all, was rich and famous.)
It has been 15 years since the first movie "Vampa Dnevnik Kid" hit theaters. Only that fact is a sobering reminder of how stupid fast time flies these days, especially for those of us who have been children who have read all the books and catching these films in cinemas as well as me. These films reflect the overwhelming era of family comedies made for the large screen (genre often transmitted to streaming these days). At best, these films reflect the charming wit of Effef Cinnie's books thanks to their outstanding castes, at the same time serving as a time capsule of what high school felt like students who grew up at the time. Mileage can vary when it comes to enjoying these films, especially if you have a nostalgia for the era that reflects it or if you can handle some of the lumps of the series that include, but not limited to, humor that causes Cringe, a touch of cheese and fregles. Here is our ranking of every live movie "Dnevnik of a Wimpy Kid".
4. Long transport (2017)
No one is a surprise, "Long Transport" is dead last on this list. The fourth live entrance with action in the series serves as an independent sequel and a soft restart of the original trilogy of the films, with a brand new cast playing the characters of Effef Kinney. Although David Bauers returned to the director's chair for this, having previously stuck "Rodrick Rules" and "Dog Days", the film lacks the spark that the originals had, evoking the sequels directly to the DVD and/or made for TV-extensions made to use their success (their success.Think of all those terrible sequels to "home" after the original theater films).
The recording of the characters is understandable, given that the "Dnevnik of the Child's" book series exists on A. Weather time frame as "Simpsons" And South Park, and the original young roles have grown from their roles. However, much of what makes the "long transport" such a tormenting watch is because the new cast is unconvincing in their roles. Asoneyson Drucker assumes the post of Greg Hefley, but unfortunately, his performance fails to measure Zahari Gordon, and much of the selfishness of the protagonist's signature is watered. The whole Hefley family has very little chemistry, with Susan of Tom Everett Scott and Susan of Alicia Silverstone cannot correspond to the chaotic, comical energy of Steve Zan and Rachael Harris. Rodrick Charlie Wright is the most notorious replacement, without the attractive, poor wisted charm of Devon Bostik, and also portrays the character as tricky. This group of actors was not helped by the script to work with, which shows hell on a road trip, loaded with almost any cliché you can think about.
After all, whenever I think of the "long transport", the pictures that pass my mind involve terrible vomiting of CGI coming out of Rodrick's mouth while riding with gravity after eating too deep fried butter sticks, and a visual non-sequence. The last picture left me to want to watch the superior first film instead.
Dogs of dogs (2012)
Strange enough, the bottom of the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" at this rank shows Greg Hefley's summer accidents. Fortunately, "Dog Days" is a significantly more pleasant film than "Long Transport", which boasts several comedic highlights. In particular, Greg's relationship with his father Frank is further explored, giving us a refreshing performance of Steve Zan. Frank expresses concern about Greg's trajectory, fearing he can become weak like Rodrick. With the threat of enrolling at Spag Union preparatory school, Greg pretends to get a job at a local club in the country to keep Frank from his back. Unfortunately for Greg, Frank learns the truth in the stage that brilliantly shows Zan's depths as an actor, perfectly covering a father who is not crazy but disappointed.
However, the last entry into the original trilogy "Dnevnik of Kid" falls slightly short compared to its predecessors. The film combines the books "The Last Straw" and "Dog Days" in one, putting the relationship of Greg and Frank as a central conflict, just to solve in a third -acting camping sequence that feels anticlimactic. Also, while the summer setting is an interesting change in the scenery, the biggest hits of the "Vampa Kid" series often serve as an integral background that informs the narrative of more dynamic and funny ways.
Fortunately, some memorable moments in the film will let you think about your adolescent summer experiences, no matter how shameful. Remember your first time you go to the worst driving in an amusement park like Greg and Rowley who made him on the cranium shack? Or worst of all, losing swimming stems after you jump from a tall diver, just for your crush to swim close to you? Wuffer. At best, "Dog Days" ridiculously capture those moments with a children's glay, even if it does not reach the same consistent comedic heights as the first two films. (Also shout at the incredible Robert Capron, because whenever Rowley cries, and I.)
2. A child's diary of Wimpy (2010)
Obviously, the first two films "Wimpy Kid" are of comparable quality, so choosing the best of both is a matter of throwing a coin. Fortunately, you can't go wrong with any movie, as they both contain the most memorable moments of the series of original books. In the case of the first film, the primary and accompanying characters are established in almost perfect fashion.
Greg Hefley is familiar with the audience as an unusually incredible protagonist for children's film. Much of it can be attributed to Zahari Gordon's performance, showing Greg's narcissism, with an obvious previous engagement. The film, which is not afraid to portray Greg in such an incessant light, is its best achievement, giving young audiences a friendly appetizer to anti -heroic waters. Just as attractive is Robert Capron as Rowley Effeferson, whose unacceptable nessicity and authenticity serve as a refreshing contrast to the troubled Greg. In one of the film's most famous scenes, Rowley gives up his friendship with Greg, and these children's actors show impressive emotional depth and complexity in response to a messy situation.
The first "child's VIMPA Diary" is also full of funny accompanying characters. Greg's classmates, including Chloe Grace Morine as Angie, Line McNeil as Petty, Karan Bar as Shirag, and of course, Great Russell as fregles, are all different and memorable. Greg's family is brilliantly thrown, with both Rachael Harris and Steve Zan as parents of Greg who serve as excellent comic foils for their children. But with whom are we joking? The real MVP of the whole team is Devon Bostik like Rodrik Hefley, who shows Greg's troubled older brother with boundless charisma. With its flawless casting associated with a clever script, this film is a worthy adaptation of the Effef Kinney novel.
1. Rules of Rodrick (2011)
Only with hair, "Kid Vimi Diary: Rodrick Rules" usurps the first film as the best in the whole series. As mentioned, Devon Bostik like Rodrick Hefley is a performer and a character of Brazheg, and puts this film in front of and center with Greg. Their brotherly rivalry provides some of the biggest laughter of the series and, surprisingly, its most emotional resonant moments. Despite being such a bully in the first film, Rodrick shows the excitement of his brother's mentorship, even if he encourages him to repeat his more unstable behaviors.
However, despite being titled "Rodrick Rules", Susan Hefley is probably as important for Greg's journey here. Rachael Harris perfectly captures the shameful mother Greg shows in her magazine, a mother who is afraid of what her sons can become if they do not learn to love each other. The most dramatic scene in the film appears when Susan bases his sons, with a special emphasis on Rodrick, who is forbidden to perform with his band, Lod Diper, in a talent show that destroys him. This leads to a ridiculous culmination in the talent show, where Greg reluctantly agrees to serve as Rowley's assistant in his magical act, if Susan allows Rodrik to perform ultimately. Rodrick finally gets the moment he waited, but it was unaware that all the angry moods from the audience were for his mother's enthusiastic dance on stage.
"Rodrick Rules" has the funniest moments that the "Vimimian Child's Diary" should offer, and at the same time remains true to his basic characters, next to Greg still acts primarily on his self-interest above all, but still shows some personal growth on the road. It also helps that the film is not afraid to have some surprising moving moments for his characters, amid all Wacky Hijinks they expected. Above all, the film is a fun exhibition for Devon Bostik, which would continue to achieve impressive filmmaking with the directors won by the academy, Bong Oonun-Ho and Christopher Nolan. In addition, who would have thought Rodrick Hefley will one day appear in a movie like "Oppenheimer"?
