Sometimes Summer fun doesn’t get to be outdoor fun. Especially not when you have Wisconsin weather because the chill and rain always like to pop through here and there. That’s why movie collections are a must have around here. My family has a good selection and we were thrilled to add DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: RODRICK RULES to our collection!
The first DIARY OF A WIMPY KID movie was great and my family couldn’t wait to see the next installment of this great collection! I am happy to say that DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: RODRICK RULES surpassed our expectations and was an excellent movie! Here’s what my family had to say:
- Lil Man: It’s funny and I like the part where they do that trick and that professional boxer chases them.
- My Lil Bro: I’m glad that it was close to the book. It’s funny when Rowley was singing a YouTube video and sat on the bed and got poked with a spike ball that his little brother made.
- Big Bro: I thought it was hilarious and liked it all. I thought it was really cool.
DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: RODRICK RULES was just absolutely hilarious and kept me rolling with laughter from beginning to end. It’s a perfect movie to chill with the whole family and watch. Of course the cheese was in this one too and that was just great. My kids haven’t stopped talking about that since the last movie! In fact, now that I’m writing this and asked their opinions, they can’t stop talking about this one! They’re still laughing about it now, so it must be funny!
Here’s a “Bugs ‘N Dirt” recipe that you can make with your kids! The best part is they can do most of the work themselves so you can relax!
