Directed by Swinton O. Scott III, Diary of a Wimpy Kid delivers an animated movie filled with similar situations described in Jeff Kinney’s bestselling books.

Personified as a digital, bulbous boy, Heffley appears to stumble through misadventures with his buddy, Rowley, voiced by Ethan William Childress. Together they ride out the dreadful mishaps of trying to social fit as a middle schooler.

And nothing could be freakier than his new neighbor, Dr. Mamuwalde, who may or may not be a vampire.

Unparalleled Comedy “First Date” Feels Mainstream

Co-directed by Manuel Crosby and Darren Knapp, shy high schooler Mike, played by Tyson Brown, finally summons the courage to ask out his badass neighbor Kelsey, played by Shelby Duclos. Only to realize he’s missing an essential element for a successful date – the car. Panicked and low on cash, someone cons him into buying a beat-up ’65 Chrysler.

Mike’s plan to win over Kelsey soon turns into a surreal misadventure when they encounter some mishaps: a pair of cops inexplicably targeted them, a criminal gang, and a vengeful cat lady. A night fueled by desire, bullets, and burning rubber makes any other first date seem like a walk in the park.

The story weaves together elements of dark comedy, teen romance, shoot-’em-up action and classic coming-of-age tale. The rhythm of the trailer is so funny, great timing.
