Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw is a PG-rated animated film depicting Greg Heffley's attempts to navigate his father’s strict expectations and his own coming-of-age hurdles. The movie is largely lighthearted, focusing on middle-school social blunders, family tension, and situational comedy. Parents should be…

Contains only brief, non-explicit, and mild innuendo typical of middle-school humor, such as jokes about bathroom habits and awkward social moments.

Contains stylized slapstick cartoon violence, including kids bumping into things, sibling scuffles, and chaotic, non-harmful mishaps during school and family events.

Features mild language including words like 'jerk', 'shut up', and 'idiot', which are used in the context of typical schoolyard or sibling squabbles.

There is a brief, incidental scene showing a parent enjoying a glass of wine with dinner, which serves as a fleeting, non-focused background element.

The central themes focus on family dynamics, the pressure to meet parental expectations, sibling rivalry, and the anxieties associated with growing up and school life.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw runs 78 minutes, directed by Matt Danner, released in 2025.
