There was also a really selfish couple in the back row with a baby of no more than 1 years old who cried throughout the movie and it didn't occur to them once to leave the screen for a few minutes to calm the child down but instead make everyone else endure the baby's cry! 
I didn't think the movie was as bad as you some of you guys rated it! It wasn't great and there were some boring and completely pointless parts but I think it's a good movie for young children, especially those settling into school and who could probably relate to this. This book is a really popular book amongst the young people I work with and I have noticed all of them to be of secondary school age. I haven't read the book myself so am unsure how much it relates to the film but from speaking to some of the children who have read it, it does seem to be quite similar.
I agree with opas though - hit girl's character was completely pointless and she added no value to the story at all. They should have perhaps left her for the next film or integrated her role abit more. I thought Rawley's character was quite cute although abit too dumb at times. Greg as a character was really annoying and I didn't have any sympathy for him whatsoever. Just seemed like a selfish brat!
I thought some of the humour was quite dry and childish although reminded me abit of Death at a Funeral (which is a film I really disliked) and there seemed to be alot of focus on that rather than focussing the message of being yourself and not caring about what others think whilst at school (which I think the book focuses on alot more).
My friend who watched it with me seemed to have loved it! (I think that's because he related to being a wimpy kid
especially the cheese touch which he is constantly going on about still ) @ opas, yeh there will be a second film, I hope it will be alot better.
My score would be 6/10 but I do agree with whoever wrote that this would rather be best suited for a rainy Sunday afternoon when there is nothing else to do!
