Le journal d'un dégonflé : Rodrick fait sa loi

« Le récit s'avère plus fertile en intrigues, déclinées avec vigueur et souplesse, si bien que le scénario apparaît dans l'ensemble moins mécanique que celui du précédent film. »

« But this movie is so well-designed, and so easy to swallow, you don't have to think about it at all. It just does its little thing, and ends up leaving you with a great big message. »

« Though not as layered or entertaining on dual levels as a Pixar comedy, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules manages some earnest laughs with old-fashioned sentiment. »

« About the most you can say for it is that it's inoffensive, which isn't necessarily what you want in a movie about the humiliations of being a seventh grader with a bullying older brother. »
