**Nothing like the book...**

20 minutes into the movie and my head is already spinning. We start off with Greg's Mother buying Greg a diary. And after that cringe, we are introduced to a game that was never mentioned or depicted in **ANY** of the books. The plot and timeline are scrambled. The character design is horrid. And the overall film is just one big 💩. Maybe I should have stuck to reading the books.
