Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Went and saw Diary of a Wimpy Kid for my review assignment for Magazine writing.

Things to know about the movie:

Movie was mostly like the book which was funny.
The book will always win over movie though.
They added a random girl character that was supposed to be a love interest for our wimpy kid, which ended up being stupid and a waste of time because she does nothing but hangout with dyed hair and speak in way too advanced sentences for a seventh grader. Fregley was AWESOME. I laughed at everything he said. Who wouldn't? He was a freckled mess of awkwardness that they gave the best lines to.
2nd best scene (besides the ones with Fregley) The drama teacher made all the kids sing her favorite song to try out for the musical which was the Wizard of Oz. It happened to be "Total Eclipse of the Heart" Amazing. love 80's and having a montage of middle schoolers singing different parts was way too much fun.

3rd best scene. They added a random mother son dance (not in the book) Rowley and his mom dance to a Beastie Boys song. Enough said.
