Third in the family-friendly series from author Jeff Kinney. Adolescent Greg (Zachary Gordon) is looking forward to a summer of computer games but his father (Steve Zahn) has different ideas, enforcing wilderness weekends and internships. Desperate to elude him and impress tennis ace Holly (Peyton List), Greg fakes a job at the local country club and gets into mischief with his slacker brother Rodrick (Devon Bostick). It’s hardly a compelling narrative, but performances are fun and this series still has a firm handle on the divide between kids and parents, without dehumanising either.
