Diary of a Wimpy Kid Movie Premiere Changed to March 2010!
Wimpy Kid Series Goes Hollywood
The highly anticipated kid's film was originally going to be released on April 2, 2010 but the release date was thankfully moved up.
The Wimpy Kid series is Greg's humorous narration of his middle school misadventures. My daughter said, "most every kid in our school has read Diary of a Wimpy Kid." It is true, even the most reluctant young and even older reader enjoys the comic strip, hand-written style and comedy found in this novel series that is printed on lined pages.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid stars Zachary Gordon as Greg, Steve Zahn as Greg's dad and Rachael Harris as Greg's mom. Greg has a 'mean' older brother, Rodrick, a funny but 'annoying' little brother, Manny and 'embarrassing' best friend, Rowley.
The film covers Greg's first year of middle school. Other character favorites from the book series featured in this movie include: Fregley, Chirag, and Patty Farrell. I doubt that this will be the last movie to be made from the Wimpy Kid series. Check out the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie trailer here.
Simple stick figure illustrations and adolescent humor turn into a hilarious film for the big screen that is sure to be a box office hit. My children and millions of other kids are sure to fill the theaters this March 2010 to see this funny film.
The Wimpy Kid Movie Diary will be in stores March 16, 2010 and includes new cartoons, details on the making of this film, and photos from the movie.

Sounds like fun. It's been years since I've taken my kids to a movie.
Good review, about time kid-friendly movies returned to the big screen :) Cheers.
