the family dynamic was very realistic, which is something you don't see in most films and something I really enjoyed as someone with a big family. This movie really shows what it's like to be a middle child, I would totally recommend this to someone who can understand what it's like to be Pete but if you don't already connect with the character it can be hard to really get into the movie and the emotional depth of Pete. The ending lesson of it all was really not as much of a cliché as I thought it would be, it was very unique to say the least. Also Greg Heffley
