When he finally confesses, Rowley, wounded, lays it out. And Rowley wins the gig! Amid this growing success, Greg allows Rowley to be wrongfully indicted for something that happened on safety patrol.
When an opportunity opens up for a cartoonist at the school paper, Greg hurtfully insults Rowley’s idea. More so, he’s bitter that suddenly girls and everyone else have discovered Rowley and like him for who he is: funny, nice, innocent, sincere. Over winter, Greg accidentally breaks Rowley’s hand and is fairly unapologetic. Like everyone who asserts that everyone else is a moron (baristas, for example), Greg is inherently uncool and he’s discovering it! But at some point, marvelously, it becomes clear that this is exactly what the film is about! Greg is supposed to be this little jerk, whose motivations are disgusting and who increasingly becomes contemptable. This all felt like I was watching just another kids film where our cool hero is just a self-entitled jerk who hangs out with a sideshow of comic relief. After Rowley is forced change his image and wardrobe to meet Greg’s sense of acceptable, the two friends join safety patrol. This fails when Rowley decided to match him. Greg next tries to be popular by simply dressing with style. “I can’t wrestle a girl,” he says, but she envokes Title-IX and ably defeats him. He tries wrestling, and is paired against fierce Patty (Laine MacNeil), who hates Greg. Greg hopes to achieve easy popularity and success without doing any real work, because he’s so inherently great, by joining a club. Shirts hunt the skins in a cruel (but funny) game called “Gladiator.” Escaping this, Greg and Rowley meet seventh grader Angie (Chloe “Hit Girl” Moretz), school reporter. In gym, kids are divided into attractive (shirts) and less-so (skins), for instance. Greg labels his peers as morons or idiots, and holds the social strata in equal regard. Adorable weirdo Fregley (Grayson Russell, the new Todd Bosley) ranks below the bottom at 201. He ranks his sweetly naive friend Rowley (Robert Capron) in the pitiful 170s. Despite the advice of his tormenting older brother Rodrick (Devon Bostick) to lay low and never do or say anything, Greg already imagines he ranks at a high 19 in popularity out of all the students. He is determined to be a “class favorite” in the yearbook. Greg (Zachary Gordon) is stoked to be starting sixth grade, middle school, leaving behind childhood and entering into the more mature, more socially complex world of adolescence.
First by Zachary Gordon (2010-2012) and then by Jason Drucker (2017).Greg must deal with the world of middle school, and things don’t turn out like he expected. Greg has been portrayed by two actors prior in live action.
His clothing consists of a plain white shirt, black shorts, and white sneakers. Greg has a wire thin frame and a round bulbous head with a small tuft of hair that resembles a waterspout. Greg is a down-to-earth kid who still enjoys the typical things that all little kids his age likes. He cares deeply for his best friend, Rowley and goes out of his way to protect him from harm, unaware of the fact that he fits in just fine with their current middle school situation. Greg can sometimes come off as being bossy or controlling, but is an overall good kid who is usually ends up doing the right thing. He can be neurotic and sometimes nervous over certain things that may not be a big deal for adults, but is absolutely paramount for other kids. As he says at the beginning of the movie, as well as the books, he believes that he is surrounded by stupid people and that one day he will achieve greatness.
