Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy) Reviews

After the generally positive reception to 2010’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid, the powers that be try their luck for a second time with Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules. As fresh and funny as the first film was, that’s how familiar and overdone this latest effort is. We’re still plowing the same territory: the continuing humiliations of a young middle schooler as he makes his way through the perils of school with a cadre of nemeses and home where older brother Rodrick makes his life continually miserable. For younger family members, the overuse of slapstick and the overplayed, broadly drawn characters will likely still find a ready audience, but older viewers are less likely to find these shenanigans as much goofy fun as they were the first time around.
