Greg hopes to spend the summer holiday playing video games, but his parents have other ideas. So, he pretends to have a job in order to hang around the country club with his best friend Rowley and Holly, his crush from Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules. Throughout this episodic series, Greg has been an extremely selfish kid, but the consequences of his actions have been funny and humiliating mostly to himself. In the third movie, Greg transforms into a stupid, nasty and unpleasant brat who lies his ways through every situation, but he's a good kid because he admits to his mistakes when he is found out. This time the comedy vignettes are cringeworthy and predictable. Based on the third and fourth books in Jeff Kinney’s series. Followed by Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Long Haul (2017), which features a new cast.
