Synopsis
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!

Chicago Sun-Times
It's nimble, bright and funny. It doesn't dumb down. It doesn't patronize. It knows something about human nature. - 83
Entertainment Weekly
Does a great job of being in two places at once: In the head and gangly bodies of kids, and in the hearts of those of us who have survived grades 6-8. - 80
Chicago Reader
It's eminently suitable for children, fully inhabiting their world and finding real laughs there without resorting to sentiment, condescension, or snarky in-jokes for the adults. - 75
Orlando Sentinel
Crass, gross and juvenile in all the best (and worst) ways, Diary is aimed squarely at a tween "don't touch the cheese" demographic. And if you don't get it, maybe you're just too old for a good booger joke. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
A likable movie for kids that will make adults chuckle as well because of the movie's key ingredient -- wit. - 70
Variety
It's a spry, fluffy comedy. - 60
Village Voice
Sweet and funny at either end, but in between, it sags with endless repetition of gross bodily functions. - 50
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
The kiddie audience will laugh a few times, but it would take an electron microscope to find an original idea or joke in this entire cartoonish movie.
