I'm Still Here is a portrayal of a tumultuous year in the life of actor Joaquin Phoenix. With remarkable access, the film follows the Oscar-nominee as he announces his retirement from a successful film career in the fall of 2008 and sets off to reinvent himself as a hip-hop musician. The film is a portrait of an artist at a crossroads and explores notions of courage and creative reinvention, as well as the ramifications of a life spent in the public eye.

I've read all of Jeff Kinney's books in the Diary Of A Wimpy Kid series and particularly enjoyed the drawings. I was a bit skeptical about a movie based on Kinney's book but I must say the director, David Bowers, did a commendable job. The same applies to the actors who in a way manage to resemble the drawings in the books, not necessarily in physical appearance but more so in character. There are some clever and funny jokes throughout the story. One that is particularly amusing is when Greg loses his shorts while diving into the pool of the country club and finds himself naked in the pool. The various scenes with the family dog are funny too, and so are the situations involving Rowley and Rowley's parents. Enjoyable for the young and for the not so young anymore!

Let me start off by saying that I'm a big fan of the books and I've seen both the films before seeing this. I was really looking forward to this, in fact it was one of my most anticipated films of 2012! Strange, huh!?! Luckily, this film did not disappointment. It does what the franchise does best: Goof around a lot! There were loads of entertaining moments in the movie and the acting was great. The dialogue was decent for a DOAWK movie and the directing was great.We again have some of the funnier and more awesome Diary of a Wimpy Kid characters, such as Chirag and Fregley! In this film, Gregg Heffley doesn't really disappointment me as much as he has in the past, but the characters never annoyed me here, except for Heather Hills. I understand her character is supposed to be like all snobby and stuff, but I just didn't like her. Everyone else was fine, especially Rowley's Dad on a few occasions***SPOILERS*** Some of the better moments #1- "I love you because" scene This scene perfectly illustrates what the Jefferson family is like. I was laughing so hard at Mr Jefferson's reactions when Greg couldn't find something nice to say about him.#2- "The Cops vs Mr Jefferson" scene That bit was absolutely hilarious. I loved the absurdity of the scene and the scenario and the innocence of Mr Jefferson put into the scene make it absolutely hilarious#3- "Rodrick drowning" scene That particular scene was hilarious and it kept me laughing, especially Rodrick's reaction after the man gives him mouth to mouthOverall, this is a great kids film and I really enjoyed it as a 15 year old guy!

Watched this with the kids today and i don't know...i'm thinking the best one was the first book to movie adaptation that i liked better anyways. It was OK and my son who reads the books wasn't totally impressed either. Greg our main character is about to chuck the school books and get ready for his summer vacation...you know the hard life of everyday video gaming whilst older brother Roderick sleeps like a bear. That is until dad (Steve Zahn) has something to say about it. This leads Greg in desperation in what to do.. once again using Wimpy buddy Rowley so he gain access to Rowley's mother's pool and day spa club most of all to spend time with new love interest Holly Hills ( Peyton List) which ends him up in a whole heap of trouble especially when older brother aka chief antagonist Roderick ( Devon Bostick) gets wind of it and demands that he will tell his father of his secrets unless Greg also sneaks him in.Not a bad film and probably a good family film for those that have enjoyed the others in this series however er the movies are running weakly on my son (A fan of the books) and myself so don't think we will be taking in anymore.
