Ha haaa Diary of a wimpy kid…has never been my fav. Summer Movie list already started… I dont know if I will watch much, esp if the weather stays this good, I will be mostly out doors. Thanks for sharing!
Great choices! Diary of a Wimpy kid is certainly a movie that my kids will want to go and see!
Like all your movie picks. I have’t watch any yet but going to check them out. Thanks for sharing!
I have not see Diary Of A Wimpy Kid but have seen The Perks Of Being a Wallflower. Really good movie.
So many great movies! I have seen all of these! I think I need to have a movie weekend and rewatch these with the kids!
I never watched any of these movies but i will definitely watch this Diary of a Wimpy kid this summer.
All of these are great selections. My boys liked Holes a lot. They must have watched it at least 10 times. They also used to watch Even Stevesn. ^_^
I’ve missed too many movies! I have not even watched half of these films! I would love to see this one though.
What I like about movies like this is that teens can relate to what the characters are going through. It’s definitely a good way to let them now that they’re not alone especially for teens who feel lonely sometimes.
What?! I haven’t seen any of those above – but now we have some great viewing ready for Summer! My boys will love the Fried Worms film for sure 😉
My boys love the Wimpy Kid movies. We’ve watched How to Eat Fried Worms but haven’t tried the others yet. We’ll have to check them out when we have movie night
Am I the only one who feels like Holes should be required viewing for young people? I loved that movie so much. Most of the others on the list I’ve not yet seen. Perhaps it means a movie marathon is in my near future 😀
These are all sounds a great movies and perfect on this weekends I would love to watch
