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

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

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

Andrew Parker

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

Ugghh... Now i'd expect more from 20th Century Fox, you could've made a great film but come on guys another Diary of a Wimpy Kid Reboot? I'm not saying the old Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies were good, but they were at least decent!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul has the worst green screen effects, camera work, and acting I've ever seen in a cinema. Period.

Now I could go on for hours of how this movie is just plain out bad. But, I don't want to waste my time doing it. :)

As someone that did grew up with the books and a bit of the movies, I was expecting garbage, and I got garbage. While the older films were not high art, they were not as pandering, padded, stupid, nor disgusting as this movie. It's basically every terrible kids movie made in the 90s andAs someone that did grew up with the books and a bit of the movies, I was expecting garbage, and I got garbage. While the older films were not high art, they were not as pandering, padded, stupid, nor disgusting as this movie. It's basically every terrible kids movie made in the 90s and 2000s, filled with crass toilet humor that thinks that being gross is somehow funny (which is not), filler that don't do anything but distract from the main story, and characters that are underdeveloped or just plain unlikable. If anything, this movie is a sad reminder that movie studios will still beat a dead horse and Batman and Robin really did a number on Alicia Silverstone's career.… Expand

I couldn't care less about the cast change, honestly it's probably an improvement. This movie is a painfully idiotic and unnecessary diversion for the lowest common denominator of viewers.
