A Movie Suggestion for All, From a Student of Film: Diary of a Wimpy Kid: the Long Haul (yes, the one with the new Rodrick). I can, and will, tell you it is a work of cinematic perfection. Charlie Wright’s performance as the new Rodrick rivals no other. His humor comes not from the written script, but his acting prowess of strange facial expressions–as well as the wardrobe of a “punk” twelve-year-old girl and the awkward haircut. Rating: 11/10
