Diary of a Wimpy Kid 3: Dog Days (DVD)

However, things go haywire when his father decides to ban video games and TV all summer, trying to convince his 21st century kids to to be more physically active, like the republicans across the street. So, out of boredom, Greg ends up doing many dumb and ill thought out things that result in awkward and pretty hilarious situations.The regular cast of characters take more of a reduced roll in this movie, which makes their appearances funnier and more welcome than in the previous movies. Even Greg's older brother, the lazy, conniving teenager who is the drummer for a crappy metal band, is not as prevalent as he used to be. But Devon Bostick does wonders with the Rodrick character, especially at the end during an ill fated performance. Zachary Gordon plays the main character, and he does a good job of essentially being every trouble making pre teen that is completely annoyed at his comfortable existence. Steve Zahn has an expanded role as the dopey, eccentric father who tries in vain to have his adolescent sons not act like adolescent sons.
