For all her “Clueless” comedy cred, Silverstone just might be at her best conveying a mother’s special knack for witheringly guilting her boys. Read full review

The Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen

By now Bowers, who also directed the last two Wimpy Kid movies, knows how to choreograph the inherent chaos for optimal giggles, even if many of the book’s more satirical elements have been swapped out for broader slapstick. Read full review

The best indicator of whether you’ll like the film version of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul is whether you think flying vomit is funny. Read full review

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul is yet another disappointing attempt by Hollywood to deliver an adaptation worthy of its source material. Read full review

The film's problem isn't so much the grossness of its humor as the laziness with which it's executed. Read full review

TheWrap Sam Fragoso

May 15, 2017

Unconscionably overlong while offensively appealing to the lowest common denominator of filmgoers, this film would appear to lack a single reason to exist. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Andrew Parker

May 20, 2017

Packed with stilted performances and hackneyed jokes from the road-movie playbook, it doesn’t work unless you’ve never seen another film in your life. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really enjoyed this movie.
When Greg touches the diaper, random people post videos of him touching the diaper and he becomes a viral video called "Diaper Hands".
One thing I liked about this movie was the pig that the little brother, Manny, won from the carnival.
I also thought it was funny when Greg went crazy about touching a diaper.
The funniest thing was when the little kid spoke spanish and got his pig back.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After watching this crap, I wanted to go blind. Not only did I fall down the steps in the theater after the film ended, I promised myself that I will go blind, but I didn't do that luckily. The new cast is DISGRACEFUL and Rodrick looks like Squidward from Spongebob!! And no humor.… Expand

Don't blame me, it's Sunday, but yeah, this is the worst movie of the whole franchise and without the original cast, the new ones completely suck, kid actors must have grace and charisma and these have none of that.

The best word to describe Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul is stupid. It's just flat-out stupid. Not even funny stupid like Dumb & Dumber, no, it's just unbearably stupid. I genuinely question how anyone thought this was a good idea. This film is so bad and 5 years too late, that even theThe best word to describe Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul is stupid.

This film is so bad and 5 years too late, that even the original cast got too old, forcing the studio to replace everyone and even parade that fact in their marketing.

Wow. Just... wow.… Expand
