PHIL ON FILM: PhilVillarreal says the new 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' adaptation on Disney+ is good for some laughs and is a conversation starter.
TUCSON, Ariz. — There may not seem to be a huge need for more"Diary of a Wimpy Kid" films after the live-action films from the last decade, but"Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules" makes a strong case to become the definitive version, edging out the 2011 live-action effort.
The material works better in animated form, particularly in the CGI style that emulates the art style of the book covers. An overbearing bully who masks his own insecurities and uses Greg as the target of his passive aggression, Rodrick uses Greg's trust and respect from his parents to stage a party that he hopes could improve his popularity at school.
