"Even better than the first edition.  Pete Hammond, Boxoffice Magazine
"Leave it to a wimpy kid to show Hollywood how to make a family movie with live people in it.  Scott Bowles, USA Today

Editor's Note ASTRO BOY director David Bowers helms the follow-up film to 2010's big-screen adaptation of Jeff Kinney's acclaimed DIARY OF A WIMPY KID comic novels in this Fox 2000 production. As Greg Heffley (Zachary Gordon) braves his first days of seventh grade, his parents (Steve Zahn and Rachael Harris) make a noble yet ill-advised attempt to help him forge a stronger bond with his mischievous older brother, Rodrick (Devon Bostick), who takes twisted delight in tormenting his unsuspecting younger sibling at every opportunity.
