Disney Plus
Our take
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw is rated PG for mild rude humor on Disney+. Greg faces dad pressure, school embarrassment, and cartoon mishaps with very little strong language or violence. Fans of the books and prior animated entries should find the content aligned
Uplifting themes
Family communication and self-acceptance emerge by the end Greg is flawed but learning; parents are comedic but caring
