Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2: Rodrick Rules

This is a fun movie, especially for kids who have read the books - all my kids have read all 5 Wimpy Kid books. At no point have they ever felt that Greg was any sort of a role model and that's the point. In this movie, he's more of a victim of his older brother than he was in Wimpy Kid 1 since this time the story looks more at their relationship than the WK1 did (that one was more about how he managed or failed to, at school). My kids thought it was funny, better than first movie, and that it didn't stray as far from the books - this is a good thing in their minds. I didn't get the impression that the beverages at Rodrick's party were alcohol - the kids were goofy, but didn't really seem to be acting drunk and I'm not sure there wasn't a reference to soft drinks while the boys were setting up. I seem to recall the 2 drinking from glass soda bottles at one point also. Best for kids who have read the books - be prepared to remind them that the boys' antics aren't appropriate for real life!
