Greg goes to school for his last day and gets forgets his history book at home and is forced to share one with Fregley. When work time is over everyone signs each other's year book. Greg asks Holly to sign hers and she does. He also asks her to write her phone number. The class bell rings and everyone runs out of school. Greg notices that Holly was in a rush and didn't write the last two numbers. Greg runs into the hall to try get Holly to finish her number but gets crushed in a crowd. Greg makes it out of school and sees Holly. When Greg asks to finish the number she tries to but Heather Hills arrives in her car and demands Holly to get in. Holly gets in and Rodrick flirts with Heather Hills. Heather Hills drives over Rodrick's foot and drives away. Greg becomes upset when Holly signs Rowley's yearbook saying he's "cute" and signing Greg's yearbook calling him a "friend".

On the first day of summer, Greg gets up early just in time before his dad is going off to work. After waiting for him to leave, Greg closes all the curtains, gets snacks and starts up a clock and begins playing video games on his Xbox 360. Greg's dad arrives and Greg jumps into the sprinklers and gets a football then tells his dad he was playing sports. As Greg's dad turns on the TV, he sees that Greg forgot to turn off his console and he finds out he was playing video games. He unplugs the TV before heading for the basement, but is stopped by Greg's mom. She tells him he needs to spend more time with Greg stating that they need to bond. Greg's dad tries to bond with Greg by going fishing. Greg puts an end to the fishing by throwing bait in the water. Next they go to a civil war reenactment where Greg blows a trumpet at the wrong time and Greg runs away as people with guns that shoots blanks are chasing him.

Rowley invites Greg to go to the country club and comes along with him, preferring to go there instead of being in his mom's Reading Is Fun! Club. Greg finds out that the country club is not as crowded as the public pool and begins to like it. Greg finds out that Holly Hills gives her tennis lessons and sets up a game with her the next day. Frank signs up Greg for an internship at his office, but Greg lies, stating that he got a job at the country club, which Greg's dad becomes really happy, saying that Greg actually did something. The next day, Greg and Rowley meet up with Holly for the tennis match. Greg finds out that Patty is there too. Greg and Rowley get hit by Patty many times with tennis balls in the genitals and make it totally obvious they know nothing about tennis and that they have only played Ultimate Tennis on the Wii. Holly is flattered that they tried to impress her and offers to help them with become better and Holly teaches Greg personally.

The Heffleys go to a fourth of July party at the Warrens' house where Rodrick tells Greg about his suspicions about him having a job,  intimidating Greg, causing him to admit to Rodrick that he doesn't have a job at the country club to hang out with Holly. Rodrick sees this as an opportunity to see Heather Hills and blackmails Greg into sneak him into the country club.

Later on, Frank Heffley does what Warren suggested and gets a dog for the family. Manny names the dog Sweetie and Susan and Frank agree on it. Greg explains how he always wanted a dog, but has second thoughts as he has to pick up dog poop, deal with Sweetie sleeping on his bed, and the fact that Sweetie constantly jumps on him and stealing his food.

Greg sneaks Rodrick into the country club the next day, and Rodrick begins ordering tons of food on the Jeffersons' bill. Rodrick comes up with a plan to get Heather's attention by pretending to drown, but while he's pretending, Heather is arguing with a little girl and doesn't even notice Rodrick. A bald guy sees Rodrick drowning and comes to him and gives him mouth to mouth as Rodrick cries in disgust. After Rodrick's horrible event, Rowley invites Greg to come to the beach with him and his family. Rodrick tells them that they should head down to the boardwalk and ride the Cranium Shaker while they're there. The next day, Frank enrolls Greg into the Wilderness Explorers making Greg believe he will be sent to Spag Union.

Greg is about to leave with Rowley to the beach and his parents give him a phone before he goes. But the phone is a ladybug phone which only contacts home and the police. They stay at the house and play "I Love You Because.." before heading to the boardwalk. They got to the boardwalk and Greg and Rowley wait for the Cranium Shaker's line to decrease and go on other rides and games. The Cranium Shaker eventually opens and Greg and Rowley overhear a story of a guy who went on the ride making Greg and Rowley scared. They survive and Rowley's parents say they've been looking for them and are disappointed with him. In the middle of the night, Greg gets on Mr. Jefferson's computer and sends an email to his mother, but accidentally sends it to everyone on his contact list. The next morning Mr. Jefferson has over 900 emails and Greg calls 911 by accident while trying to call home. While coming downstairs, the police come and tackle Mr. Jefferson for having a knife in his hand, thinking he hurt someone. Greg is then sent home early and his dad suspects that Rowley is a bad influence because Greg always gets in trouble around him.

Greg calls Rowley to ask if he's going to country club and Rowley says he isn't. Greg sneaks himself in like he sneaked Rodrick in. Greg finds out that Rowley did come to the club and lied to him, saying his parents say he can't invite Greg to come to the club with him anymore. Greg and Rowley make up and he runs into Holly and Heather. Heather says that her DJ for her Sweet 16 party cancelled and has no music. Greg says that him and Rowley are roadies for Rodrick's band Loded Diper and asks if they could perform at her party. Heather has no choice but to accept it and Rodrick is thrilled that he gets to perform at Heather Hills' party. Greg's dad decides to take Greg to "work" the next day. Greg gets raped in the asshole lol and heads inside where an infuriated Mr. Jefferson is with a bill of $260 worth of smoothies. Greg's dad comes in to drop off his sunscreen and Mr. Jefferson tells Frank about the bill and Greg's dad finds out Greg doesn't have a job after all. Greg's dad pays for the bill himself and Greg is in the car with dad waiting for him to yell at him. Greg's dad says he's just disappointed and isn't going to yell at him. Later on, Rodrick finds a Spag Union DVD package in the mail and they watch it. Rodrick tells Greg that his last chance is to go on the Wilderness Weekend to prove to Frank he doesn't needs to go to Spag Union.

Greg goes on Wilderness Weekend with Rowley, Fregley and Chirag. Frank is still upset with Greg and they silently ride the bus to the campsite without talking to each other. They are driven away from the campsite by Stan Warren and his troop. Greg's troop is sent over by the latrines and they tell go stories. Fregley tells a story about the Muddy Hand and a paranoid Greg accidently bangs Frank's hand with a mallet. Greg, Rowley, Fregley and Chirag overhear the Warrens making fun of Frank Heffley and his troop. The boys angrily devise a plan to get back a Stan Warren. They plan to make a web and cover it in honey, get ants to put in the Warrens' sleeping bags and they'll be chased off into the web and trapped. Greg goes into the tent to plant the ants and discovers that the Warrens' have a whole bunch of technology with them and aren't really camping. As Stan is coming back, Greg hides but the ants get lose and crawl all over him. Greg ruins the Warrens' tent and sets it on fire. Greg takes his own blame and Frank finds all of the equipment and technology they were using and calls Stan a phony and Stan falls into the trap and is chased by bees and a bear. Frank takes Greg to a motel where he admits to hating camping. Frank tells Greg that he's proud of him and won't send him to Spag Union.

As summer is close to it's end, Loded Diper goes to Heather's Sweet 16 birthday party along with Greg and Rowley as roadies. Everything at the party is very fancy as there is a chocolate fountain, an ice sculpture of Heather and men in tuxes and women in dresses. Rodrick tells his band that he needs to make a love connection with Heather and tells one of them to go on drums. Rodrick then begins to sing a rock version of Justin Bieber's 'Baby' trying to impress Heather, accidentally knocking down the ice sculpture. Heather attempts to hit Rodrick but he dodges and instead Heather hits the chocolate fountain which sprays all of the guests, ruining the party. Greg apologizes to Holly, but Holly is happy saying that Heather wants people to remember her Sweet Sixteen, and they will. Holly holds Greg's hand and they happily smile at each other, becoming a couple.

Greg states that summer was not how he planned it to be, but everything turned out fine for him. Greg, Rowley and Holly swim at the municipal pool together, with Greg's family. Greg says that things between him and Frank will be okay and says that they are good at working together, with Greg saying it was the best summer ever. After the movie ends, an animated credits are shown, with some animated scenes of Greg.

Critical reception
The film has received very postive reviews. It holds 102% on Rotten Tomatoes, with the general consensus stating "One of the most influential of all sci-fi films -- and one of the most controversial -- Dog Days is a delicate, poetic meditation on the ingenuity -- and folly -- of mankind.." On Metacritic, the film has a score of 100/100, indicating "that shit fuckin sweet dawg" Abby West of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a S+++ and wrote "The Thing (also known as John Carpenter's The Thing) is a 1982 American science fiction horror film directed by John Carpenter, written by Bill Lancaster, and starring Kurt Russell. The film's title refers to its primary antagonist: a parasitic extraterrestrial lifeform that assimilates other organisms and in turn imitates them. The Thing infiltrates an Antarctic research station, taking the appearance of the researchers that it absorbs, and paranoia develops within the group.

The film is based on John W. Campbell, Jr.'s novella Who Goes There?, which was more loosely adapted by Howard Hawks and Christian Nyby as the 1951 film The Thing from Another World.[3] Carpenter considers The Thing to be the first part of his Apocalypse Trilogy,[4] followed by Prince of Darkness and In the Mouth of Madness. Although the films are narratively unrelated, each features a potentially apocalyptic scenario; should "The Thing" ever reach civilization, it would be only a matter of time before it consumes all life on Earth. Carpenter acknowledged that the work of H.P. Lovecraft also inspired the film.[5][6]

On June 25, 1982, The Thing opened in 840 theaters, and it was the #8 movie of the week at the box office. It remained in the top 10 for three weeks.[7] The lower-than-expected performance has been attributed to many factors, including Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, which was also released by Universal Studios around the same time and featured a more optimistic view of alien visitation,[8][9] and another popular science fiction film, Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, being released on the same day.[10] However, The Thingwent on to gain a cult following.[11] The film was eventually reappraised by critics, and is now considered to be one of the greatest horror films ever made.[12][13] The film subsequently spawned a novelization in 1982; a comic book miniseries adaptation, entitled The Thing from Another World, published by Dark Horse Comics in 1991; a video game sequel, also titled The Thing, in 2002; and a prequel film with the same title on October 14, 2011.."

Production
In an interview, Devon Bostick (Rodrick Heffley) said that The Last Straw could be in the works and is "90% sure it will happen" depending on the success of Rodrick Rules.[4]  here is one photo that Gordon posted on his Facebook page showing, himself (Zachary Gordon), Robert Capron (Rowley Jefferson), Peyton Roi List (Holly Hills) and Laine MacNeil (Patty Farrell), together on set.

Zachary Gordon wore nothing when skinny dipping into the country club pool, to which his bathing suit is snagged on the corner edges of the high dive and slips out of it (off camera) while jumping off the board. I cumed because i liked little bois lol. However, after the take that was used in the finished film, Gordon admitted in an interview with WJTV that it felt embarrassing to wear, even though he signed autographs to the nearby fans and onlookers. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=407388845983882&set=pb.320242754698492.-2207520000.1355004548&type=3&theater
