Tear-jerking comedy

Continuing the shooting technique of the first episode, the narrative is interspersed with comics, making the film novel and interesting from the beginning. The story in the first part mainly tells about campus and friendship, while the center of attention in the second part becomes family and brothers.
The connotation that the film wants to express is a level higher than the first one, and the performance is extremely layered. From the very beginning, the kid Greg will still be full of naive fantasies like the first episode, such as dating the girl you like, inheritance The legacy of the rich and so on. I also want to shoot a spoof video on YOTUBE to become famous. Even the beginning of the roller skating rink and the middle church are very natural and full of aftertaste. I think this is the charm of "Diary of a Wimpy Kid".
What is commendable is the acting skills of the little lead actor Zachary Gordon. Every awkward smile and uncomfortable performance are shown in front of the camera, which is especially true, which can evoke some childhood memories of audiences with similar personalities from time to time.
I can’t completely classify the film as a comedy. What it brings me is more warm and moving, especially in the last stage of the talent show. In order to complete his brother’s performance, Greg promised his mother to do it for his good friend. Funny magic assistant, even if there is his favorite girl sitting in the audience. When my elder brother’s performance was accompanied by a clumsy dancer, what I wanted to bring was not laughter, but sighing tears. This is a scene that most Chinese families would never show, and the film did not show it as a demon. Instead, it is thought-provoking through real performance.
Like the first film, "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" does not have any preaching, but shows thought-provoking impressions through real American family life shots, containing many memories, laughter and even tears.
Undoubtedly, "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" will become an unconventional family drama in film history. I believe the third episode to be released soon will still make people laugh and move heartily.
