#Diary of a wimpy kid movies movie#
At many moments in the movie, you can find scenes where this girl model who looks like Holly Hills (who shouldn't be in this movie in the first place, since she actually appeared in Rodrick Rules) is rehashed. And also, due to the facial designs being translated from the book into 3D, most of the characters have very poor facial expressions as they don't always have eyebrows which negatively affects their angry or sad moments, and the mouth movements on the characters doesn't always sync that well with the dialogue, and the mouths are positioned on the sides of the characters faces which leads to some very painfully awkward looking shots such as that scene where Greg smirks. But the thing is, those franchises were already in color so the creators had more to work with. You can tell it is trying to have the same art style that the Peanuts and Captain Underpants had, where it looks like the characters look like they walked right out of the book. It also doesn't help early concepts for the movie showed that the movie was going to be like The Peanuts Movie where it would be CGI, but the characters would be displayed on a 2D vector instead of a 3D one. With some exceptions like Greg Heffley, Susan Heffley, and Rowley, the character designs look very uncanny (especially their tongues) when put into a 3D space and it causes most of the character designs to look quite ugly, with Manny and Fregley being good examples of this. For a 2021 released Disney movie, the animation, while faithful, looks rather weak for 2021 standards and it doesn't translate that well into a 3D style. This leads to many scenes such as The Wizard of Oz play (although it was mentioned) and even the Safety Patrol plot (the turning point in Greg and Rowley's relationship and the reason why they stopped being friends in the first place), getting cut out from the film entirely. The film is 58 minutes long, which is far too short for the book to squeeze all of its content into it, which ends up making it feel rushed. It's almost as if Kinney read his own book while making the script for this movie and decided to throw out everything he previously said. Something else that doesn't help either is the fact that this exact issue was talked about in the first Wimpy Kid Movie Diary book, which was first published in 2010 alongside the first live-action movie. Sure Jeff Kinney is involved in the previous Diary of a Wimpy Kid films, but even then he was only the executive producer and had other screenwriters write those films (except The Long Haul). Not to mention, the beginning of the movie just explains everything to you instead of showing it such as Rodrick explaining the cheese touch to Greg, whereas the book and live-action movie kept it as a secret for later, but the lack of subtlety ruins it here. Jeff Kinney wrote this movie as if the viewers already read the books, so it doesn't have to try and surprise you with anything and it just simply shows you most of the main points from the first book without adding any substance to its memorable and entertaining moments. His only other screenwriting credit was Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul to which he co-wrote with that film's director David Bowers. #Diary of a wimpy kid movies professional#
