Greg Heffley is a scrawny but ambitious kid with an active imagination and big plans to be rich and famous - he just has to survive middle school first. To make matters worse, Greg's lovable best friend Rowley seems to coast through life and succeed at everything without even trying! As details of his hilarious - and often disastrous - attempts to fit in fill the pages of his journal, Greg learns to appreciate true friends and the satisfaction that comes from standing up for what is right.

Trivia

Goofs
Erica Cerra's (Susan Heffley's) microphone frequently rubs against something as she performs her voice lines, creating a rough static sound over many of her speaking scenes.

Quotes
Rowley: Hey, Greg. After school, you wanna come over and play?
[Everyone feels shocked at the word "play" and laughs. Greg grabs his backpack and leaves the cafeteria]

Crazy credits

"Zoo-wee mama."

I grew up really enjoying the books through middle school. Saw this was on Disney+ so I thought why not.

Nothing great here, nothing terrible. Some solid animation and brought back memories of me ignoring my teachers in class as I read the back.

Maybe I'll check out the live action movies next. I was bored so that's why I saw this one.

4/10.
