Let's not kid ourselves, Greg Heffley will never stop being an unbearable nerd. It's just that someone needs to explain this to his father.
You see, Frank Heffley thinks he can finally make his son act like a proper man, which is why he signs him up for various sports and "tough guy" activities. Naturally, Greg, who isn't cut out for such things, always manages to do his own thing.
But when his father threatens to send him to Military Academy, Greg starts to take his "transformation" into a proper man seriously, or else he's in for... a real wake-up call.
