    • Trivia
      A sequel was in the works but cancelled when the actors who play the protagonists underwent a major growth spurt suddenly.
    • Goofs
      At Heather Hills' Sweet 16 party, during LD's performance, Heather Hills swings at Rodrick with his mic stand, missing him, but in turn knocks her chocolate fountain over & away from her. In the next shot, she's seen standing next to her friend on the opposite side of the fountain, without the mic stand, & the chocolate fountain has been splattered onto her somehow.
    • Quotes

      [from trailer]

      Greg Heffley: I can't believe it's so crowded here. Maybe we should come back.

      Rodrick Heffley: How about never? Does never sound good?

    • Crazy credits
      The animated 20th Century Fox logo at the beginning of the movie changes to a cartoonified version, and a beach ball flies across the logo.

    Come on
    Amazing fact for such movies: that usually with each part they get worse. BUT THIS FILM IS NOT THE CASE. New interesting story, new adventures, new tests of strength. This film has not lost its charm. Highly recommend! It is recommended to look from the first part.
