Reception
Although the character was highly well received in the books, the reception was not the same for the film; Rotten Tomatoes has said that Greg is an "unlikable protagonist". Pomeranz disliked the character of Greg Heffley, saying "I really thought he was unpleasant. I did not want to spend time with him. I couldn't wait for the end of this film." Later two more films, Rodrick Rules (2011) and Dog Days (2012) were released.
