I enjoyed the second installment in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid franchise better than the first. Maybe it is because of my own upbringing with a brother, but I enjoyed seeing the relationship between Greg and Rodrick. There was more emotional depth (though still shallow), the jokes were better written, and Rowley continued to steal the show (especially with his Ke$ha lip sync). Though not a high-quality film in the first place, it is a fine interpretation of middle school life of a wimpy kid.
