This is the live-action film line of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, adapting Jeff Kinney's hugely popular illustrated novels about Greg Heffley, a scheming middle-schooler navigating bullies, embarrassment, and his own bad ideas. The 2010 first film establishes Greg's misadventures, Rodrick Rules (2011) pits him against his older brother, Dog Days (2012) covers a summer of dodged father-son bonding, and The Long Haul (2017) turns a family road trip into a string of disasters.
Geared squarely at kids and families, the films keep the books' diary-style comedy of small humiliations. As a movies-only branch of a larger franchise, they trade on relatable schoolyard chaos and Greg's reliably self-defeating schemes.
The The Live-Action Films franchise spans 4 movies in the CrossBinge catalog.
