Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2: Rodrick Rules(2011)
"It is wise to remember that this is, by all means and purposes, a film about kids and for kids, and one to watch only if you're nine, or with your nine year old..."
One of the reasons the Diary of A Wimpy Kid saga of books by Jeff Kinney have proved so popular amongst tweens and children is that from the issues they deal with to the characters they portray, they speak directly to their young audience.

Bridesmaids(2011)
