What happens

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days is a 2012 American comedy film directed by David Bowers from a screenplay by Wallace Wolodarsky and Maya Forbes. The third installment of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid film series and the final installment of the original live-action film trilogy, it stars Zachary Gordon, Robert Capron, Devon Bostick, Rachael Harris, and Steve Zahn who all reprise their roles. The film follows Greg Heffley as his plans for summer vacation become hampered. The film is based on the third and fourth books of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid book series, The Last Straw and Dog Days, respectively. Greg's interactions with Holly Hills and scenes involving Spag Union are featured in the third book, while the majority of it is based on the fourth book. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days was released by 20th Century Fox on August 3, grossing $77 million at the box office and, like its predecessors, received mixed reviews. It is the last in the series to feature the original cast members, as many of them (such as Gordon, Capron and Bostick) outgrew their roles, and new actors were cast for the next installment, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul, which was released on May 19, 2017.
