You'd wish you were older. You'd wish you were the boss. You'd wish you were the older brother/sister who has all the right to bully your young wimpy siblings. But in the end, you'd wish for nothing in the world having one.
From surviving middle school Greg Heffley (Zachary Gordon) has opened up his diary again on the silver screen for the next chapter he has yet to survive: his big brother Rodrick (Devon Bostick).
Something that almost everyone can relate to, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (2011, directed by David Bowers, based on the novel by Jeff Kinney) now places wimpy kid Greg on the hellish battle zone, assured of his inevitable defeat against his good-for-nothing brother who incessantly makes fun of him--in front of middle school, his teachers and even his crush. The comic and hilarious war of the brothers couldn't get worse when their parents Susan (Rachael Harris) and Frank (Steve Zahn) force them to bond.
The sequel was able to retain the laugh-off-the-seat comedy and incorporate the inspiring lessons on loving you brother/sister despite all the annoying tricks and embarrassments he/she puts you in, that somehow simply serve as memorable times they'd just both laugh about in the future.
It was truly heartwarming when Greg decided to assist his best friend Rowley (Robert Capron) with his embarrassing magic performance to make his mom let Rodrick perform in the band showdown. In the least, it had earned him the passenger seat in Rodrick's van instead of getting rolled up at the back with all his brother's junk.
