The best of the Wimpy Kid movies. I was smiling and laughing throughout the entire movie. It's hilarious and brings several life lessons for kids to the table.

At first I didn't like the Wimpy Kid films at all and when I found out about a third film, I laughed and didn't expect anything from it.

But I then watched the 2nd Film on TV and was gripped to the Holly/Greg storyline. This caused me to go and watch the 3rd Film, Dog Days, expecting a cheesy, bad film. However, this film isn't all too bad. It's a light hearted comedy, with some good jokes, some bad jokes, and some copied jokes (There's a scene completely copied off a Mr Bean episode!). But it wasn't too bad. The Holly/Greg story that I was hooked into remained and, although it wasn't completely resolved, they ended the film and the story with finesse. Although I warn you, the opening and ending bits with human Greg standing in front of a cartoon background is the cheesiest thing ever, but you can forget that. Overall It's not the worst film of the year *Cough* Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter *Cough* but if you are looking for a comedy with great constant gags, It's not the film for you.… Expand

By far it is the best of the "Wimpy Kid" movie trilogy. It is at some parts hilarious, but others were very weak and boring. But that is usually what I expect from these movies.

The best of the three! Dog Days delivers much more of a sentimental lesson but still pushing in the vast amount of fun and awesomeness the series needs.

If this really is the end of this film franchise, then I say it ended on a pretty high note. Its all the same wacky and witty humor of the first 2, but this time its during the summer.

Its all the same wacky and witty humor of the first 2, but this time its during the summer. You see Greg getting in embarrasing and troublesome situations a lot more this time around. Yes, this wimpy kid wants to play video games all summer, but his dad tries to change that. That is one big plot point. His relationship with his dad. Anyways, it is not the best of the series (Rodrick Rules is) but it is one heck of a fun conclusion.… Expand
