As details of his hilarious – and often disastrous – attempts to fit in fill the pages of his journal, Greg learns to appreciate true friends and the satisfaction that comes from standing up for what is right.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid is directed by Swinton Scott (“Futurama”) and written and produced by Jeff Kinney.
