Description
The pressure's really piling up on Greg Heffley. His mum thinks video games are turning his brain to mush, so she wants her son to put down the controller and explore his creative side.

When Greg discovers a bag of gummy worms, it sparks an idea. Can he get his mum off his back by making a movie… and will he become rich and famous in the process? Or will doubling down on this plan just double Greg's troubles?
