Diary of a Wimpy Kid Review and Giveaway!

I have to admit, I had heard about the book, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but I have not yet read it. After watching this really cute and funny film, I can’t wait to get my hands on the book. The book is perfect for a family night.

The movie along with the move centers around Greg Heffley, a soon to be middle schooler, along with his best friend, Rowley Jefferson. Greg hopes that middle school will be different and becomes focused on a quest to become popular. The more he tries, the more he fails. It is a funny movie and I think one that we can all relate to. It deals with the awkwardness that comes with junior high/middle school, friendships and character. I really enjoyed the movie and I think you will too!

The movie is availabe on DVD and Blue Ray on Tuesday, August 3rd  at retailers nationwide.

It’s giveaway time!
I have one copy of Diary of a Wimpy Kid to giveaway. All you have to do is leave a comment on why you would like to watch this movie. Contest closes on Thursday, August 5th at 11:59PM. Winner will be selected at random on Friday morning. Good Luck!

It’s giveaway time

    My son absolutely LOVES The Diary of a Whimpy Kid books–he keeps 4 of them on his top bunk! And, we all thought the movie was funny and worth adding to our collection.

  7. Alicia says:

    Excited to see the movie w/ my daughter… She is transitioning from a small private school into a large "scary place called middle school" which she starts next week. She is concerned about meeting new friends and things like being late to her many new classes. Under the circumstances we are looking forward to checking it out …

  8. Autumn says:

    My kids wanted to see it in the theater, but we never made it. Now they see the commercial that the dvd is coming out, I keep telling them wait for Redbox! Haha, they would love to have a copy of their own!

  9. cynmaes says:

    My 3 youngsters have read the first 2 books and are looking forward to reading the rest of the series and seeing the movie!

    I am always looking for new family-friendly movies to add to our collection. I would like to watch it with my boys and then read them the book.

  11. Ana V says:

    I would like to watch the money because when it came out, all my kids went to see it except me. I had a newborn. =) Plus we have the book collection…

  12. Adele says:

    My son has read one of the books and we saw the movie when it first came out. He's starting middle school next month at a school where he won't know anybody — a scary thought for anybody. I'd love to win the DVD so we can watch the movie together again before his first day of school

  13. Sheri G says:

    My 7-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter LOVE this book! I would love to have the DVD for a family night viewing!
    P.S. I'm really enjoying the events you've posted — Thank you!

  14. kimbers69 says:

    We've read all the books. My girls love them but we haven't had a chance to watch the movie. Winning it would be great!

  15. Maya says:

    Please send me your free gift!I only saw the book cover. Maybe watching the movie would inspire my kids to read the book. Thanks!

  16. Monica G. says:

    My kids have read all 4 books, ready for the next book, and we loved the movie!
    They'd love it if they heard we won the DVD!

  17. Tiger Den #7 says:

    Wow! We would absolutely love to see this movie! The books are so enjoyable that after my 6-year-old powered through the whole book series–I got my mitts on the first one and was hooked! I found myself smiling after every page.
    I would love to own the DVD so we can watch it with family and pals and enjoy all those laugh out loud moments we loved in the books. 🙂

  18. Aleli says:

    I have a 7 y/o son who totally loves the Wimpy Kid series. Once he started the first book he kept asking for more. If he gets the dvd, I'm sure he would watch it over and over again. thanks!

  19. Lin says:

    I actually read all the books & loved them! I bought them for my god-son & when he was finished with them I was supposed to donate them to the library but kept them & read them instead, lol. They were good.

  20. jeanpd says:

    As my son gets older, he sadly seems to enjoy reading less and less. DVDs are always great supplements and motivators.

  21. NSMOM says:

    I saw an interview with the author and he seemed so normal and it made me want to see this movie even more. Thanks, Maureen (jnomaxx at hotmail dot com)

  22. Monica says:

    My son was behind in reading last year in the first grade. All of his friends were reading Diary of a Whimpy Kid. He brought it home on library day and sat with me to read. What a life saver. He loved the book and it started his love for reading. It would be great to give him the DVD. He would love it.

  25. 2temptedmama says:

    My 7 year old daughter saw this book at my neighbor's house about a week ago and asked if she could borrow it. Apparently it must be a great book and series because she blew through it in 1 day and has moved on through books 2 and 3 since. She has been asking to see the movie and this would be a great surprise for her and a great reward for all of her reading.

  26. Darla says:

    My 3 boys have all the books and have read them numerous times – BELLYLAUGHING out loud (BLOL)! It makes me want to read them.

  27. Nathalie says:

    Would love, love love to win a copy of this movie. Such a fun book. We just started reading the series after the movie came out but never got a chance to see the movie when it was in the theater. My 2 kids, 6 & 9, think that the main character Greg is too funny with all of his mishaps!!

  28. Isabel says:

    This was a hit with our family. My husband and I are hoping the cheese touch wears off soon. (I think we sleep with our fingers crossed. lol)

  29. Spencer and Emily Nelson family says:

    My oldest son read all the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books TWICE! I would love to have a copy of the movie!

  30. Mommy says:

    My son has spent his allowance two different times on the books that he cannot read yet. We were going to go see the free showing of it today, but his brother got called into a last minute swim practice so he had to miss it. He was so disappointed and would love another chance to see it!

  31. Anonymous says:

    I would love to win this for my students! They love reading the Diary of a Wimpy Kid novels and this would be a nice reward for their hard work!

  33. Elsa Bear says:

    My 3 boys have been wanting to see this movie, but we haven't been able to take them. They would love to watch this movie at home. Not to mention my oldest is going into high school and my 6 year old is on his own at school now without big brother to say hi to and keep track of him. I think they can relate that is why they want to see it.

  34. Jen LoSchiavo says:

    We missed this when it came out and my kiddos have been asking to rent it as they keep seeing the commercials – would love to be a winner! Thank you!

  35. Elizabeth says:

    When I told my daughter about the DVD giveaway this is her comment. "I would like to have the movie Diary of a Wimpy Kid because it was a VERY funny movie! I have enjoyed reading all of the books and I can't wait for the fifth one to come out. They were one of my favorite books I have ever read. Whenever I don't have anything else to read I will get one of the books and read it. I hope I get the movie!" 🙂
