Short description
Wimpy Greg Heffley, now in seventh grade, thinks he has it all together. He has mastered middle school and gotten rid of the Cheese Touch. However, Greg's older brother, Rodrick, is itching to cut him down to size. He gets the perfect opportunity when their mother tries to force the boys to bond. Rodrick may be Greg's chief tormentor, but he feels his constant pranks are just what his little brother needs to prepare him for life's hard knocks.
What's left behind the scenes
- While preparing for filming, Devon Bostick (who played Rodrick) learned to play the drums.
- In the television show scene, Lane McNeil sings herself.
- A significant portion of the gags in the cleaning scene were improvised by the actors themselves.
- The photographs in the Heffley family home are actually childhood photos of the actors. According to director David Bowers, this added realism to the corresponding scenes.
- The game Gut Busters, which the kids play with their grandfather in the nursing home, was invented by screenwriter Jeff Kinney. All the cards are written with jokes – generally, indecent ones.
- A significant portion of the audience at the talent show are not extras, but inflatable mannequins.
- In the church scene, as Father Holly (played by Peyton List), screenwriter and author of the 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' series, Jeff Kinney, appeared on screen.
- In the car wash scene, Greg (played by Zachary Gordon) first smears a dirt stain, creating a small circle, then the next shot shows a circle of dirt with a significantly larger diameter, then it disappears altogether, and then reappears.
- In one scene, the kids repeatedly take bites out of their hot dogs, but in the very next shot the hot dogs are shown whole.
- When Robert Capron and Zachary Gordon's characters talk about a party near their lockers, Capron's words are heard, but his lips remain still.
- In the car wash scene, Greg (played by Zachary Gordon) first smudges a dirt spot, creating a small circle. In the next shot, the circle of dirt becomes significantly larger. Then it disappears, only to reappear again.
