ComedyFamily
Greg Heffley is headed for big things, but first he has to survive the scariest, most humiliating experience of any kid’s life – middle school! That won’t be easy, considering he’s surrounded by hairy-freckled morons, wedgie-loving bullies and a moldy slice of cheese with nuclear cooties!
VIBE
This film feels like a humorous, slightly exaggerated trip back to the awkward, often-humiliating world of middle school. It's a lighthearted, relatable journey through the trials of fitting in and finding your place, blending innocent charm with a steady stream of comedic mishaps and a distinct, doodle-infused visual style.
