ABOUT THE MOVIE
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days
PGDuring 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.
STARRING:Zachary Gordon, Steve Zahn, Robert Capron, Rachel Harris

BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW
