In the books, Greg is a sociopath from beginning to end, in the movie I admit he does grow, but at the same time Rowly still hung out with him when he was still a sociopath (in the first movie). Unless you mean... GASP! Rowly is psychic!

They auditioned for Terence??? (Also it's Hollingsworth)

I love how Greg's- and everyone's really- character development carries on to this movie and then the next one as it's something that never happens in the books. Greg is clearly a lot more comfortable in his friendship with Rowley and in his own skin, he's overall just clearly a better person and the mistakes he makes in this one feel reasonable and don't make him look nearly as selfish and self-absorbed as he was in the last one. I absolutely love how he agreed to be Rowley's partner at the end just so Rodrick could participate in the talent show, because Greg honestly didn't really HAVE to do it, Rodrick is very much facing the consequences of his own actions there. It's not something that Greg from the first movie would've ever done, maybe not even the Greg from the start of this movie would've done, but the Greg whom had talked with Holly about how, even though they can make your life hell, they're still your family? Whom got to see first hand how awesome Rodrick really is and knows for a fact Rodrick deserves to play in that talent show? He definitely would've.

Couldn't have said it better myself

The actor actually plays rodrick perfectly

They were SO much harder on the punishment for Greg then they were Rodrick. Greg only gets grounded for 2 weeks which isn't SO BAD seeing hiw he literally only plays video games. But with Rodrick, it's NO CAR FOR A MONTH, GROUNDED FOR A MONTH, NO TALENT SHOW. And I KNOW these are the types of parents that are always like, " IF YOU MAKE A COMMITMENT YOU NEED TO SEE IT THROUGH!" But yeah, they were pretty harsh on Rodrick.

Can we appreciate the fact that Alex summarizes movies? Its been a while since I last saw this, nice refresher before him critiquing it

Holly doesn't do anything in this movie, because in the third and FINAL movie, her plotline is continued

3:07 In the movie, Mom Bucks are worth more than they did in the books. In the books 1 mom buck = 1 penny. In the original books, there are a bunch of random events strung together to make it feel like a real diary. The mom bucks come back later when Rodrick picks up Greg and Rowley from school. He was paid to give them a ride.

yeah, I always felt DOAWK would make a far better miniseries than movie. Each book could be a season (or maybe two books a season, to bring it from 16 down to just 8) and then each series of events in each book could be an episode. Making a movie, they just had to cut way too much out.

Repeat after Me: THEY NEVER MADE A FOURTH MOVIE.

I really loved this movie when I was a kid. And more so since I have no siblings. The song that Rodrick's band performed at the end also was stuck in my head for a long time.

So like, they definitely handled the bathroom door lock thing more realistically in the movie. But I really liked it in the book how one night soon after the party Greg overheard his dad saying, "Didn't this door used to lock? I must be crazy." And then his parents didn't find out about the party until they were going through a camera and apparently one of Rodrick's dumbass friends was taking stupid pictures on it ahahaha

Never thought about it as a kid but couldn’t they have switched the door handles overnight or repaint the first door overnight since their parents didn’t use that bathroom till days later? The door didn’t even matter that much.

This is just hilarious to me because, now Zach Gordon voices a character in Genshin Impact, and I cannot under Greg Heffley speaking. Although as a kid, when this came out, I was experiencing the closest thing to a crush on Rodrick, except I didn’t know what love felt like.

I love how Alex is bringing his gf into more vids. She seems so sweet, and Alex might as well marry her for making her sit through so many movies XD

Its cool to see Alex’s take on this just to see a person’s perspective on it who didnt see it when it came out. Anybody who watched these movies growing up definitely loved Rodrick Rulesbut Alex didnt vibe with it as much as the first movie

I loved how this film portrayed the dynamics of sibling relationships. I think it handles the bonding between brothers better than the first one handled the friendship between Rowley and Greg. Also preteen me fell in love with Rodrick in the second film.

Seriously I laughed so hard on the mom bucks . Just leave Greg and Rodrik to an Asian house hold for one month . TRUST ME they'll be so thankful for whatever this mom is giving .

They really could’ve just said they accidentally broke the other door and tried to fix it but due to movie logic it became a big plot point

"Crap; I need to take off my party eyeliner and put my school eyeliner back on." You say this like it's a joke, but... This was reality for some of us lmao

The actors for the parents absolutely nail their roles

Jeez i remember being in elementary school and watching this movie and actually believing this is how things where and now I’m older then Roderick in this movie and I just think wow this isn’t very realistic at all

the mom bucks thing is only in there because it was in the book, but these movies have a very small amount of similarities with the book anyway

But maaaaaan is it fun to watch lmaoo

Dose This Guy even know That These Movies Are Based of A Book Series Here are a Few Bits of Context if he sees this 1.) The Thing On Greg's Hair is Based on the Books 2.) Rodrick Has Black Hair And Doesn't Look Like He Came From The Worst Hair Cutting place Ever 3.) They added in That Girl From the 1st Movie Cause They needed A Character That Greg could relate to Also The Characters That he drew Were Terrible He Didn't Even Get Rodrick Hair right, Or Have Susan's Glasses That's Like Her Main Accessory In The books I hope he Sees this & Doesn't think I'm Just A Stupid Hater

It doesn’t need to make sense for it to be one of my fav childhood movies

How dare you Alex, this movie is a masterpiece

The "Cowlick" are the efforts of the team trying to make him look like his book design, and it looks good.

To think Rodrick was in one of the SAW movies. 🤯

The more I look back on these movies, the more I realize that Greg is such a horrible friend to Rowley
