What happened to madness? What happened to rebellion? Oh, what's the bloody point? Nobody's listening.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days is probably the most inoffensive kid's film you're likely to see this summer. And that's a good thing.

Viewers enduring early adolescence or those grappling with its psychic scars will recognize the honesty in the comic humiliation.

The film loses its forward momentum and then wraps itself up in a way that is anti-climactic.
