Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw is a 2025 American animated comedy-drama directed by Matt Danner, based on Jeff Kinney's beloved book series.

What is Diary of A Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw about?
Greg Heffley is in serious trouble. His father Frank has grown tired of Greg's laziness and general lack of direction, and has started seriously considering military school as the solution. With that threat hanging over him, Greg hatches a plan: if he can shine at the upcoming school talent show, he just might convince Frank that he has what it takes to shape up on his own terms. The problem is that Greg's idea of preparation is far less rigorous than Frank's standards, and the pressure doubles when Greg realizes that impressing Holly Hills — the girl he's been trying to win over for what feels like forever — is also riding on his performance. Balancing family expectations, a crush, and a complete lack of natural stage talent, Greg stumbles through rehearsals while his best friend Rowley offers unwavering support. Whether any of it will be enough is another story.
