Not as good as second film, but still fun.
Dog Days, the finale to the original Wimpy Kid trilogy, is good enough viewing. There are enough funny jokes, hilarious set-pieces and charming performances to keep families entertained, but it does lack some of the wit of second film. This time, Steven Zahn's dad Frank is the second lead, and when he's on screen the films great, but when he's not the script seems to forget itself. Like the first two, there are a mix of not so good comic 'episodes' (the entire plot with Rowley's holiday, the opening scene, the dog subplot) and their are some hilariously entertaining ones (the Country Club, the camping scene, the military school). However, sometimes this one feels more bloated than the other too - did we really need subplots about Rowley's parents, Sweetie the dog, Heather Hills and the camp (through hilarious) in one 90-minute movie, when we have tons of other plots carried over from the first 2 films to contend with too? Regardless, this is still a funny family film that will defiantly entertain you, but it's nothing you haven't seen before in these films.

Review from the comment
These films aren't great by any means. However, they do have their moments and are better then a lot of stuff that is put out. I've never read the books, but the movies always seem to convey a message that is applicable to our youth that's positive, and there is certainly nothing wrong with that. In the third film Greg sneaks into a country club to be with Holly. It goes from there with Greg and Rowley getting into spots they wonder how they are going to get out of. I liked it, what can I say?
