Also can we appreciate how perfectly this movie nailed the sibling dynamic? I don’t think I know a single other movie, made for kids or otherwise, that has portrayed siblings this accurately. And the actor who played Rodrick absolutely nailed it like this is RDJ becomes Iron Man level of accuracy (Also he’s hot). So yeah basically this movie is really entertaining I rewatched it recently and it still holds up imo..

    i love this movie, but i still think its a little weird that greg telling his parents about the party is framed as his mistake, and not a normal decision. all siblings fight and have secrets together, but he's a lot younger than rodrick and didn't mean to tell his mom. it's honestly funny how upset rodrick gets over his 7th-grade brother confessing to a big high school party, like dude, you brought this on yourself lol.
    also: he still covered for rodrick by telling his mom that it was a band rehearsal instead of a party, so he rly didn't do anything wrong imo. if anything, he made a smart choice by telling his mom that SOMETHING had happened, without revealing the specifics. that way their mother wouldn't be suspicious of the door anymore and they wouldn't get a major punishment.

      " knows who is worth investing time and energy in." is incorrect, he hangs out with Greg. In the books, Greg is a sociopath from beginning to end, in the movie I admit he does grow, but at the same time Rowly still hung out with him when he was still a sociopath (in the first movie).
      Unless you mean... GASP! Rowly is psychic!

    I love how Greg's- and everyone's really- character development carries on to this movie and then the next one as it's something that never happens in the books. Greg is clearly a lot more comfortable in his friendship with Rowley and in his own skin, he's overall just clearly a better person and the mistakes he makes in this one feel reasonable and don't make him look nearly as selfish and self-absorbed as he was in the last one.
    I absolutely love how he agreed to be Rowley's partner at the end just so Rodrick could participate in the talent show, because Greg honestly didn't really HAVE to do it, Rodrick is very much facing the consequences of his own actions there.
    It's not something that Greg from the first movie would've ever done, maybe not even the Greg from the start of this movie would've done, but the Greg whom had talked with Holly about how, even though they can make your life hell, they're still your family? Whom got to see first hand how awesome Rodrick really is and knows for a fact Rodrick deserves to play in that talent show? He definitely would've.

    I loved how this film portrayed the dynamics of sibling relationships. I think it handles the bonding between brothers better than the first one handled the friendship between Rowley and Greg. Also preteen me fell in love with Rodrick in the second film.

    Greg's hair is sticking up weird in the beginning on purpose because the drawn version of him has those three hairs sticking up

    Seriously I laughed so hard on the mom bucks . Just leave Greg and Rodrik to an Asian house hold for one month . TRUST ME they'll be so thankful for whatever this mom is giving .

    Rodrick was my ultimate TV crush. And I know I'm not the only one.
