Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul Reviews

If you aren't twelve years old or twelve-year-old-adjacent, there just isn't likely much for you to enjoy in this film.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 24, 2020

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul is a road trip movie that trips over every terrible family movie cliche with pacing so bad it made 91 minutes feel like a lifetime.

| Original Score: 3/10 | May 22, 2019

Probably best to watch on cable with the fam.

| Original Score: C | Mar 12, 2019

Adults will find The Long Haul the perfect descriptor for what's in store: never has 90 minutes felt so long.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 20, 2018

A long heartbreak for fans of the series and a long haul to sit through for moviegoers everywhere.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 30, 2018

You know how people say Stephen King really shouldn't direct his own stuff for the big screen? ... kids are smarter than adults give them credit for - smart enough to avoid and/or ignore this foolishness.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Jul 12, 2018

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul is painfully awful, hampered by a charmless cast and a criminally lightweight screenplay. A long haul indeed.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 11, 2017

While some of set-pieces feel awfully familiar, there's enough memorable moments to keep audiences and in particular primary-aged kids entertained and enthralled.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 13, 2017

Dull, uninspired and, in my 11-year-old's words "way-way off the books" on which it's based.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 6, 2017

There's a slight commentary on suburban versus rural America, but returning English director David Bowers favours icky mayhem and genial rapprochement

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 4, 2017

At least Silverstone, who hasn't lost her gift for comic pouting, is allowed to bring some humanity and playfulness to her killjoy character -- though this mainly reinforces the impression that she deserves better roles.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 29, 2017

All in all, it's harmless fun.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 23, 2017

Now, with a new cast in place, and tweaks to allow such mod-cons as social media, the wheels have come off entirely.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 14, 2017

The humour is shamelessly lowbrow, but its slapstick will appeal to mischievous children wanting a laugh -- or ideas on how to torment their parents.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 9, 2017

Diary of A Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul is one of the worst films of the year so far and I don't think it will have much competition.

| Jun 8, 2017

The script is poor, the acting worse.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 30, 2017

What the original actors executed with ease, this lot make look clumsy, and joyless.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 30, 2017

Delivers broad laughs.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 30, 2017

Parents may roll their eyes at the visceral, gross-out quality of the comedy.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 28, 2017

Somewhere along the way, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul must have misplaced the charm and humor that made the book series so popular.

| Original Score: 3/10 | May 26, 2017
