A cliche, predictable, but not entirely despicable movie. It does have a charming cast and nice message for the little ones who this is targeted towards. I must say it was pretty entertaining, but not something I would probably want to watch again. It was so much like every other movie that has teenagers and school involved. It has nice pacing and a couple of cutely funny moments, but no moments of biting satire or edge to it. Seems like it might have been watered down a little bit in the translation from book to screen, but I haven't read the book to confirm this. Just speculation. Either way you put it though, Diary of a Wimpy Kid is good for a boring afternoon to occupy the kids or revel in some school nostalgia, but you'll likely forget about it soon after.
