WIN TIX To DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: DOG DAYS

Preview Screening is This Tuesday, July 31st at AMC Parkway Pointe at 5:30pm

July 25, 2012
Drew is a big fan of The Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies (and the first book too). He's really looking forward to seeing Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (opening nationwide on Friday, August 3rd).  And I imagine plenty of you have kids just as excited to see the new movie. It's a perfect way to end the summer (oh how I hate saying those words...).

During his summer vacation, “Wimpy Kid” Greg Heffley, the hero of the phenomenally successful book series, hatches a plan to pretend he has a job at a ritzy country club – which fails to keep him away from the season’s dog days, including embarrassing mishaps at a public pool and a camping trip that goes horribly wrong.

From its origins as a series of online cartoons, Diary of a Wimpy Kid exploded onto the pop culture scene when Jeff Kinney’s first “novel in cartoons” was published in 2007. Diary of a Wimpy Kid spent almost three years on The New York Times’ children’s bestseller list – there are 75 million copies in print in 37 languages. The book captured the imaginations of an army of formerly “reluctant readers,” and launched countless video reviews, social networking fan groups and parties celebrating the release of each new Wimpy Kid book.  Kinney had originally targeted adults through the book’s nostalgic look at middle school life as told through a narrator with Walter Mittyesque-fantasies of greatness, but kids immediately connected to his blending of the subversive and edgy with the fun and wholesome.

Diary of A Wimpy Kid: Dog Days is rated PG and is 94 minutes long.
