Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (2011)

 


Director: David Bowers

Producers: Nina Jacobson, Bradford Simpson.

Cast: Zachary Gordon (Greg), Devon Bostick (Rodrick), Connor and Owen Fielding (Manny), Steve Zahn (Frank), Rachael Harris (Susan), Robert Capron (Rowley), Peyton List (Holly Hills).

The ultimate sequel to the hit book and movie (Diary of a Wimpy Kid), DOAWK: Rodrick Rules is great!

The movie starts with an attempt by Susan to help Rodrick and Greg spend time together with ‘Mom Bucks’, a type of play money that can be traded for real money. They could obtain Mom Bucks by spending time together. So, the next day, Rodrick drops Greg to school just to obtain Mom Bucks. One day, Greg and Rodrick get grounded after a church scuffle and are banned from their trip to a water park. When they are at home, Rodrick calls on a party and locks Greg in the basement.

 After an hour or two of partying, Rodrick gets a call from Susan. Greg joins in and tells that he is locked in the basement. The next day, Greg and Rodrick get to know that Susan, Frank and Manny are coming home early. So, the boys at home have to clear all evidence of the party. They wipe out somewhat all evidence that the party ever existed, but they realize that someone wrote ‘Rodrick Rules’ in permanent marker on the bathroom door. Rodrick and Greg move the bathroom door to the basement and the basement door to the bathroom. This creates another problem, that the basement door has no lock. Later, on a few days after Thanksgiving, Susan and Frank find the pictures of the party, and… duh… you know what happens. Want to know more? Watch the movie!

I have to admit, this movie was really cool. Honestly, I considered the Rodrick Rules book lame, because you know, Rodrick Rules, and I personally don’t like Rodrick. So, I didn’t have many expectations for the movie. But I was TOTALLY proven wrong. My friend said that the book was great and I had to read it. In the movie the acting is superb, the character rendition is perfect. Only Rodrick felt a bit out of character near the end. But one thing: Why did you remove the sombrero scene? I’m kinda glad the role of Holly Hills is expanded in this. Peyton List was GREAT in Holly’s role. There are no flaws, thank you very much.

I wholeheartedly recommend this movie because:       

  1. The. Acting. Is. Superb.
  2.       The characters are superb.
  3.        The animated parts are good.
  4.     I don’t even have words for this movie.
  5.      Overall, THE MOVIE IS REMARKABLE!

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
