"Diary of a Wimpy Kid (the movie)" review | AMC $6 movies

The entire family was really excited to go watch this movie!  Of course we had to make an entire fun-filled day out of it.  We're all early birds so we caught the 11:10AM showing.  Most people don't know but AMC Movie Theaters have $6 movies before noon.  Why not get the day started early and save a little money?  We were almost late because I had to make breakfast, clean the kitchen, wash my hair, get dressed, and do my makeup ::sighs::.  We made it on time and had to grab snacks and everything.  Gosh even with all the snacks I had it seems like we had just enough.  8 juice boxes, 1 bag of cotton candy, 2 large bags of popcorn, 1 Snickers Bar, 1 Milky-way Bar, 1 box of Sour Patch Kids, 1Kit-Kat Bar, 1 Twix, 1 Soda, and 1 Arizona Iced Tea....for 4 kids and 2 adults.  I save moments like them to enjoy junk food because we rarely eat out and eat junk food.  We enjoyed ourselves.

We just bought the Diary of a Wimpy Kid a week ago and didn't read much of the book but loved the few chapters we were able to get to.  The movie and the book were very similar which I'm able to appreciate.  The kids remembered parts of the book once the saw the movie and became even more excited.  We loved this movie and can't wait to own it on DVD.  The movie is completely relatable and had these crazy adventures and friends in middle school.  We also found that the movie was genuine.  The characters were all normal people and it wasn't glammed up or materialistic. Our middle son is at the age were he's into fashion, gadgets, and friends.  He's not shallow at all but his "image" is prioritized too high on the list if you know what I mean lol.  This movie conveyed a message to him as well as the rest of the family that friendship is important.  More importantly acceptance.  No one is perfect in this world but be the best person you can be.  It's a must see for everyone!
