Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010)

Director: Thor Freudenthal

Producers: Nina Jacobson, Bradford Simpson

Starring: Zachary Gordon (Gregory ‘Greg’ Heffley), Robert Capron (Rowley Jefferson), Devon Bostick
(Rodrick Heffley), Connor and Owen Fielding (Manny Heffley), Rachel Harris (Susan Heffley), Steve Zahn (Frank Heffley).

Based on the first book of the hit book series by Jeff Kinney, Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a must watch laugh-riot!

The movie starts with Greg giving this narration:

“First, let me get something straight: This is a JOURNAL, not a diary. I know what it says on the cover, but when Mom went out to buy this thing, I SPECIFICALLY told her to get one that didn't say "diary" on it. Great. All I need is for some jerk to catch me carrying this book around and get the wrong idea.”

Greg also explains his dream about eventually becoming hugely successful later in life. It is also his first day of middle school. On the first day itself Greg realises the downsides of the school such as the missing stall doors in the boys’ bathroom and the seats in the cafeteria. He also runs into his archenemy from kindergarten, Patty Farrell. He also says that his friendship with one of his friends named Rowley is strained because that Rowley is as old as Greg but behaves eight years younger. One day Greg learns from Chirag Gupta the story of the cheese, a mouldy piece of cheese lying on the corner of the basketball court. I’m not going to tell you anything more, ‘because you’ll have to watch it in the movie (or better, read the book).

I like that this movie is a direct adaptation of the fantastic book. The actor choice was great. Devon Bostick’s look was perfect, and he seemed like a 16-year-old weirdo. The magazine scenario was a good inclusion but wasn’t in the original book. It appeared later in the series. Colin’s role was nice. Hundreds of once-licked ice-creams, eh? The reason I liked the movie a lot is because I read the movie diary and the book earlier. So, I knew the original thing and the production. I am also begging you to make a movie on The Getaway or Wrecking Ball. No flaws… Wimpy Kid team, keep it up!

I wholeheartedly recommend this movie because:

  1.        It has a beautiful representation of the original story.
  2.        It has a nice depiction of friendship.
  3.        It has a nice plot.
  4.        It has good acting.
  5.        Overall, THIS MOVIE IS SUPER RAD!

Ole Ale (2024) Director: Vipul Mehta Producer: Rashmin Majithia Cast: Nana Patekar ( Omkar ‘Ole’ Lele), Siddarth Chandekar (Aditya ‘Aale’ Lele), Sayali Sanjeev (Kyra Hirve), Makarand Anaspure (Baburao). Oh my god, this movie is really a ride. Omkar Lele, or Ole, is a widower and single father who’s main aim is to live life at its fullest. Contrastingly, his son Aditya Lele, or Aale, is an extreme workaholic, constantly having calls, conferences, meetings, presentations, and having very little, if any time for himself and his family. How much ever Ole tries to get Aale to do anything, he never manages to do anything with him. One time, after Aale fails to appear for a dinner at home, Ole, in sadness, apparently flees the house. Confused, Aale and their house helper, Baburao, rush to the police station and ask everybody about Ole’s whereabouts. Turns out, Ole was always at home, simply hiding. It was all a ploy to get Aale to stay at home and cancel his meeting in Delhi. Du
