Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

I'm not asking for Citizen Kane here, but just a wisp of expansion to the characters, an actual narrative that the film can walk down, or just some sort of ambition to the whole project would not have gone amiss.

Maintains the good-natured, playful and zany spirit that made that first movie one of the better non-fantasy-related kid films out there.

A colourful, good-hearted romp with some memorable set-pieces and decent lines, crisply directed by David Bowers.

It's an episodic film, rather less interesting than its British director David Bowers's earlier work as an animator in Britain and America.

Essentially a feature-length sitcom episode, but it's often laugh-out-loud funny, and it respects its young audience.
