What went wrong here? The casting, the long wait, or attempting a reboot to begin with?

Also kid kino thread, I guess

Is he really a sociopath?

They should've just recast Greg, Manny, and Rowley. Devon should've stayed as Rodrick and I miss based dad Steve Zahn.

This looks incredibly cheap and I have no idea how you could consider it kidkino outside of the fact that you have some kind of childhood nostalgia for the books that is blinding you

The dude was reaching 25.

Rodrick needs a overhaul if they ever do a sequel. I do agree with the original parents staying for at least 3 more movies before retiring them as well, but it would stick out like a sore thumb if they were kept.

Fat fuck Markiplier was useless in the movie, although I liked how they referenced cosplay and made a light chuckle worthy joke out of that

The movie was a more focused movie but at the cost of the slice of life aspects, particularly kids being kids, which meant no Fregley, Chirag or Patty and gimping Rowley's role in the new movie to the point that you almost feel sorrry for the kid playing him.

I did like how they stepped up their game in the animated scenes though. Keep that going.

I'd love to see them do The Third Wheel next, but I heard rumors that they might do the yet to be released 12th book, The Getaway, next.

The first three Wimpy Kid movies were kid kino, the new reboot, not so much

I saw one and thought it was shit. I have never read any of the books and held no opinion of the books whatsoever

Fox fucked up
They should have filmed 5 or 6 movies directly

Did you see the actors that played Greg and Rowley in the third movie?

Why r u faggots watching this and anything like it? If Diary of a wimpy kid is something you're into you are either underage or actually retard

They're comfy movies and the books are entertaining regardless of what the books were meant for, demographic wise

That's the point

How r they entertaining

No, just a massive asshole.

They somehow fixed Greg in the new movie and made him more likable, but needs to be a bit dickish in the next movie

#NotMyRodrick

...

I thought they should've shot Dog Days and The Ugly Truth back to back and end it there since The Ugly Truth Book was all about whether Greg is going age or end up as a 4th grader forever, the book ended up choosing the latter

Wait so there's an in-universe explanation for why nobody ages?

Not really, there was plans that the fifth book would've been the final Wimpy Kid book, but look how that turned out

Would the books have been better adapted as a TV series than a movie series?

With the film underperforming below expectations at the box office, I think a TV series would be ideal at this point

Is the older brother Chinese?

I'm a 25 year old man with no reason to watch these movies but they're actually pretty comfy and I would watch it with my future kids

Why does Rodrick look like Willy Wonka?
Is Greg in a emo band?
Why does Rowley look like a 2nd grader?

they portray what its like to be a kid pretty well

Pretty much this

Was it because Greg was an asshole?

It was like 3 years ago, I don't remember anyone's names
I think it was the third one with the pool or some shit

The mom looks too young and hot to be the mom.
