Release date: March 19, 2010
Studio: 20th Century Fox
Director: Thor Freudenthal
Starring: Zachary Gordon, Robert Capron, Rachael Harris, Steve Zahn, and Devon Bostick

Plot Summary (from IMDB): To Greg Heffley, middle school is the dumbest idea ever invented. It's a place rigged with hundreds of social landmines, not the least of which are morons, wedgies, swirlies, bullies, lunchtime banishment to the cafeteria floor - and a festering piece of cheese with nuclear cooties. To survive the never-ending ordeal and attain the recognition and status he feels he so richly deserves, Greg devises an endless series of can't-miss schemes, all of which, of course, go awry. And he's getting it all down on paper, via a diary - "it's NOT a diary, it's a journal!" Greg insists, preferring the less-sissyfied designation - filled with his opinions, thoughts, tales of family trials and tribulations, and (would-be) schoolyard triumphs.

Note: This film is based on the book by Jeff Kinney.

I enjoyed this film very much. It surpassed my expectations - all the overly kiddy/gross parts were in the trailer, save for a part with a booger. I guess when they say "the funny parts are in the trailer" it means that the parts that would seem funny to the target audience are in the trailer... so that can be taken either way.
