Band of Misfits
Relive your summer this December 18th with
Diary of a Wimpy
Kid: Dog Days
on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Copy!
Everybody’s favorite wimp, Greg Heffley (Zachary Gordon), is
back for three times the fun in the latest film based on the super-popular book
series! When Greg’s dad (Steve Zahn) threatens to send him to military school if he doesn’t
stay out of trouble, Greg finds all-new ways to land himself in the doghouse!
For starters, Greg’s in over his head when he pretends to work at the swanky
country club where Rowley’s family has a membership. Things don’t go much
better on a father-son camping trip with the Wilderness Explorers, and then
there’s the Heffley’s new dog, Sweetie, who fetches even more trouble for Greg
in this hilarious family film!
Greg and his friends Rowley, Chirag and Fregley often find
themselves in trouble as they try to have the most relaxing summer
yet. In this feature, we will highlight other bands of misfits in
films including those from The Goonies, Super 8 and The Little
Rascals!
The Goonies
The 1985 adventure-comedy film The Goonies follows a group
of neighborhood friends who are on a mission to find forgotten treasure in
order to save their homes from being demolished. Using an old Spanish map, a
newspaper clipping, and artifacts found in an attic, the boys trek the Oregon
coast looking for the treasure they believe belonged to the pirate known as
One-Eyed Willie. After surviving several booby traps, the group eventually
finds One-Eyed Willie’s ship filled with treasure and gold but realize they are
not the only ones who want it.
Super 8
J.J. Abrams’ sci-fi flick chronicles the journey of teenage
friends who discover a huge alien operation when trying to film a small-budget
zombie film. They witness a terrifying train crash that is surrounded with
small, white cubes that seem to have appeared from nowhere. Following the
crash, several strange events happen around town including dogs running away,
people disappearing, and electronics being stolen. They got caught up in all
the alien action and manage to make a pretty epic film.
Little Rascals
One of the rowdiest gangs in film is the “The He-Man ‘Womun’
Haters Club” from the 1994 classic Little Rascals. The boys-only team is led by
Spanky, a loud-mouthed kid who is determined to win the local go-cart race. He
rallies his troops who include the love-stricken Alfalfa, the methodical vice-president
Stymie, and the most adorable member ever, Buckwheat to name a few. Despite
their cute looks and small statures, these rascals find themselves in plenty of
trouble from crashing a dance recital, to ruining romantic boat rides, and even
setting their clubhouse on fire.
The Sandlot
The boys of the Sandlot think they rule the town when it
comes to the game of baseball in the 1993 sports comedy. The teenagers find
themselves in plenty of mishap as they are figuring out how to be grown men
during the summer of ‘62. Some misadventures include risking drowning in order
to be saved by the hot lifeguard, trying chewing tobacco at the city fair, and stealing
a baseball signed by Babe Ruth in order to keep a game going. All in all, the
boys of the Sandlot have one heck of a summer that they will never forget.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days
Greg Heffley seems to get into trouble no matter where he
goes especially with his friends Rowley, Chirag, and Fregley. The boys cause a
ruckus at all the favorite summer spots including the local country club,
Rowley’s family beach house, a nearby amusement park, and in the great
wilderness while on a camping trip. The addition of Greg’s new family dog
doesn’t make matters any better for the group but seems to cause even more
trouble! The boys’ shenanigans take place throughout the film, even to the end when
Greg attempts to impress his crush at her sister’s 16th
birthday party.
